Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is
limited. Imagination encircles the world.-Einstein
Perhaps we can encircle our writing today with the idea of love,
specifically, romance versus reality. A few quotes to
guide us:
I was nauseous and tingly all over. I was either in love or I
had smallpox.-Woody Allen
Love is grand. Divorce is a hundred grand-Anonymous
The trouble with women is that they get all excited over
nothing-and then marry him.-Cher
I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury.
-Groucho Marx.
To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But
then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer,
not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love,or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hopeyou are getting this down.-Woody Allen
Prompt: Write a scene where your character explores romance v
romance vs reality. This can be love of a person, (romantic
or not) an idea, place, thing or situation. For example: we
may be so attached to what we think as love, we miss the
reality. Or vice-versa.
