Thanks for trying the newspaper and book page blackout technique (scientific terminology there) in class Tuesday. Please share at least one of your blackout text pieces as a COMMENT on this post.
You could type the text you left on the page as a sentence or poem or story. You could also take a picture with your phone and post your work that way on your own blog, but that is optional.
I'm thinking you could do this same technique with any printed material containing a good chunk of text to work with. I also think you could be inspired to write all sorts of other pieces by using your blacked out piece as a starting point.
You could visit Austin Kleon's website to see what others have come up with and even post your own work there if you're up for it.

ReplyDeleteOh. My. God. I lean back in my chair then I spot [him], trumpet in one hand, music folder in the other. Black jean jacket, black T-shirt, and faded jeans
ReplyDeleteStomach still twists into knots when I see [him].
my insides hurt every time I look at him.
I had never told him how I felt
now whenever I remember
each memory is tainted.
But I don't have time to obsess about [him] right now.
(this actually had my crush's name on it but i couldn't bring myself to post that as well).

ReplyDeleteLooking gorgeous, looking stunning, looking perfect, Sue breezed past me, waving hello like we were friends. She was campaigning for homecoming queen. She didn't honk her horn about it, she just did it. If you don't vote, your voice won't be heard. I skipped Sue's name.
