Prompt: Summarizing Tool That I Use.
I use note taking in the form of bullet points, which include my own thought bullets. The pro/con outline also helps in note taking because it gives the notes more dimension, so that my opinion is formed from the controversy as opposed to my opinion being formed from dogma.
Prompt: Freewrite
I live many lives in reality. At this moment I am sitting in a apartment with my older brother John. Words and art are plastered all along the walls; we are thinking. John is my favorite sibling of seven; he told me a few months ago before I moved out of state that I am his twin in mind. I was deeply touched although i didn't bother to show it, as my pores were seeping humorous adoration.
We talk mainly, and fight at times as though we are fighting ourselves. John is taller than he looks, he has mint eyes. His skin is olive. His nose is small and sharp. His grin is lop-sided.
When I feel (as I do too often) that I am being harassed because of my wits as a woman among men, I turn into John. Internally this feels like a walk along a crisp street speckled with autumn leaves. I walk with my brother and laugh at how they didn't get this joke and that and well... me. He gets all of it and more, as usual. We drink coffee and smoke cigarettes and cook magnificently upon our arrival at our flat, and then I open my eyes and there I am; John.
I do hope he never dies.
