Changing Your Life

Choose a central dramatic incident from your life.

Write about it in the first person and then write about it in the third person.

Write separate versions from the point of view of each character in the incident.

Have it happen to someone 10 or 20 years older or younger than yourself.

Stage it in another country or in a radically different setting.
