Wallet size article

Task for today, September 5th:

Goal: To create a WOW story!

Tools and resources:

look at the list of your the things you found in your wallet/purse/backpack.

Pick one that brings the most memories in you.
Put the word that describes the object or the content of the object into a google search.

Start browsing the articles that come up in association with the object. Write down keywords based on the search results.Think of what association you make with those keywords. Think from the point of view of the big picture.

Example: a receipt from a grocery shopping in Miccuci in Portland ME. It is an Italian grocery store.
A few things come up in mind immediately: grocery stores with ethnic food in Portland ME, grocery stores vs. big supermarkets, popularity of Italian food in the US.

You continue searching until you find information on ONE specific topic and you focus on it. You organize it in a way to have an WOW effect when the rest of us read it.

Then you write a story of 200 -250 words.

Have fun!
