Tootsie (writing prompts!)

And some inspiration from sculptor Olafur Eliasson.

Before we start writing, I want to share this quote from Olafur Eliasson on his creative process:

“When having an idea, I very often ask, ‘Where did I get this idea from? From what emotional landscape or intuitive path did this idea take its origin?’ Sometimes an idea comes out of a great experience, but it could also be from a trauma, something that you don’t necessarily want to deal with. But dealing with it might amplify the idea and indicate the direction that ideas should take in order to get shaped and take a body. And as with anything else, there are good ideas and there are bad ideas. And the bad ideas, they are often so narcissistic and so egoistic that they kind of rule themselves out or they kind of grow into teenage-hood and they’re abandoned. Whereas the better ideas, they seem to grow! Taking an idea into action is taking it through maybe a thousand steps.”

Today’s writing prompts were inspired by the movie Tootsie.
