Writing Exercise

“The room is consumed by blue. I do not know how to return. I do not know how to come to you. You did not come. Won’t ever. Your no in your mouth pooling like azure.”

In this quote, Lidia Yukanvitch uses the color blue to describe this scene. For this writing exercise you must use color to illustrate what is going on in the story, similar to Lidia Yukanvitch’s, Blue Movie from Real to Reel. You may either choose multiple colors (ex: a new color for each paragraph) or surround the story around one color or both. For example if you choose multiple colors you could be describing your emotion throughout the day or year or however long the timing of your story is. You may either state the color directly, which could be helpful, or just show the color through your words. Whatever way you choose to do it, the theme of color must be present otherwise it is really up to you.
