i'mpulse

i'mpulse started as a class project at ucsd and became a small group of writers collaborating/sharing. i'mpulse is about creating a writing community and cultivating a habit of writing. it is about making the practice of writing spontaneous and i'mpulsive and inescapable.

Fits, Starts and Tantrum

Here are some writing prompts that will get your fingers itching to scratch out characters from some psuedo masculine symbolic language:

1. Write a short short without a plot
2. Think of a autobiographical family relationship, write about it with the relationship recast as some body process and the people involved recast as units of that process
3. Write a haiku including the words muck, glitter and blossom

Have something to share for our next gathering....

If you can't be there, ask someone to become multiple personalities in order to represent you

For Stacy:

Dendrites relish muck.
Synaptic gaps glitter bright.
Thought blossoms as shit.

"1. Write a short short without a plot."

Tennessee was five years old and the
day was black and white. His sister
was seven and she had curly blond
ringlets like Shirley Temple.

Sitting on the curb in front of the
house, they chewed salt water taffy,
and they looked at the sky.
