Writing Exercise: A Life Experience

We're going to play psychologist with you.  You're on the couch, and we're going back in your life. This month's assignment is based on the best day you've ever had.  Here's how it works...

Okay, your eyes are closed, your mind is drifting backwards.  We're looking for the best day you've ever had in your life.  I mean the all-time best!

Now, jot down a one-sentence description.  That's it, just one sentence that explains what happened on your best day ever.

From that one sentence, write a one-page story with a fictional person as they experience that day.  You're creating a made-up story with a real-life experience.  Have the character in the story feel what you felt, and react the way you reacted, but feel free to dress it up any way you want.  Keep the facts accurate, but allow yourself to color it with as many fictional details as possible.

That's your assignment this time.  Remember, have fun with it!
