Fight Club

Writing prompts inspired by the movie Fight Club.

Before we get to today’s writing prompts, let’s start with a reading from the artist Yayoi Kusama: 

"My wish was to be a painter one day. So I started painting a lot of pictures from the age of 10. My mother told me that I was not allowed to paint, that one day, I would have to marry someone from a rich family and become a housewife. When I was a girl, she took away all my inks and canvases. When I first arrived in New York, I went to the top of the Empire State Building. Seeing this big city, I promised myself that one day I would conquer New York and make my name in the world with my passion for the arts and mountains of creative energy stored inside myself. In New York, I devoted myself to my work. I drew every day and started painting ‘nets’. Eventually the canvases were up to 33 feet long and I painted ‘nets’ from dawn to dusk. When I was drawing, the pattern would expand outside of the canvas to fill the floor and the wall. So when I looked far away, I would see the hallucination, and I would get surrounded by that vision. That is how I became an environmental artist."

How did you get your start as a creative person?
