This blog contains a draft outline of my ideas of where I'll "go" with Twitterive and the tweets I have chosen as my inspiration. My Twitterive will be a quasi-biographical piece with elements of "truth" explored through fictional experiences based on true events or moments in my life. The moments/events will be exaggerated and/or extended into the fictional realm in order to fully develop my narrative. The story will be explored through a life after death experience and will incorporate my fascination with spirituality/God, self-reflection, relationships, physics, and astronomy.
Draft Twitterive outline/ideas
Fiction with some real events:
“Truth” in the emotions
Exaggerated life experiences or moments to show perceptions/emotions
Part reality/part fantasy (two sides of self)
Themes
Seasons – unifying theme – genres connect through seasons
(Seasons = changes)
Change of seasons: “place” caught between wanting to hang-on to the past, and wanting change, wanting to move forward. Fear of the unknown, excitement for the unknown, stagnation/growth, and contentment/discontent. Search for meaning, self, God
Connect and disconnect between relationships with others, relationship with self, relationship with God/spirit – sick spirit/sick relationships, acceptance/denial, control/lack of control, love/hate, trust/mistrust, desire/self-control, regret//healing. Escape vs. reality. (alcohol, work, music, sex)
Story:
Near death or after death experience:
Flashbacks
Stream of consciousness thoughts
Flying through the universe
Stuck between worlds – living/death
“Seeing” for the first time
Searching for self/identity/God.
Genres:
Poetry – original and found (from tweets)
Stream of consciousness
Slide show – photographs/captions and or narrative/music
Diary entry
Lists
Possibly a youtube video
Vignette
Prayer *possibly the repetend* (Parts or lines from a prayer between “seasons”)
Stories/narratives
Screenplay - Fictional “conversation” or event
Micro-fiction – from a tweet
Fantasy fiction – life after death, focus on setting
Perspective:
Views from two different aspects of “self”
“Id” vs. “Ego” (or Superego)
AND/OR
Views from two different people in the story
