The Balancing Stones Sculpture Writing Project - FEBRUARY 2017

 

Writing Project in progress . . .

It is a new day, and we are back to our Writing Project.  Hopefully you have printed out the Balancing Stones Sculpture and chosen your first stone and placed the word that resonates with your soul about the path you are focused on in relation to your writing.

Remember, there are nine stones.  We are focusing on the first stone that you've placed your word on.  Your stone may be different from the one I picked.  And, of course, the word you have chosen may also be different from the word that I chose.  This is what we will each need to do next . . .

Taking my example from yesterday --

Pull out the copy of your Balancing Stones Sculpture that you printed out, with your first stone, named _____________.  (Fill in the blank with your word).  Place the word that you chose on the stone that you picked.

My first stone that I chose is pictured above with the word that resonates with my soul at this time -- "Novelist".

Now, take out your notebook, and write down the word that you chose for your first stone.  Your paper should be titled, Writing Project - Month of February 2017 - Balancing Stones Sculpture.

Using another example, let us say you chose the word, "Short Story Writer" -- On your printed out paper of the photo of the Balancing Stones Sculpture, you will write "Short Story Writer" (or the word you chose) on the first stone that attracted your attention.

After you have written down your word on the first stone that attracted your attention, you will then turn to your notebook, and you will write down your word once again.

Following your word, insert the definition of your word from  your mind (simply put).  For example, the word I chose is "Novelist" -- Definition:  The writer of a Novel.  

On the next line, write the definition of your word from the Dictionary.  For example, using my choice word:

Novelist:  a person who writes novels (Merriam-Webster)

On the next line of your notebook, write down the first known use of the word you chose.  For the word Novelist, the first known use of it was in 1728.

Now, here is where our Writing Project gets interesting.  Keep in mind the word you chose for your 1st stone, the placement of where that stone is on the Balancing Stones Sculpture, and the year that your word was first used.

Go back to the photo of the Balancing Stones Sculpture, and write the year of the first known use of your word on the stone to the right of the first stone that you picked with the word of your choice on it.  Like so . . .

If the stone you picked happens to be a stone hanging on the end, place the year your word was first used on the stone to the left of the stone where you've written your word.  Write the year down on your photograph as instructed.

As you go to sleep this evening, keep in mind the word you chose, and the year that your word was first used.

We will continue tomorrow with our next step. . .

[Remember to follow along with this Writing Project, because we are going to make good visual use of those nine (9) stones in relation to your Writing, and you'll be amazed at what you learn about yourself!]
