Platic Cups

[rivka_nikola]

Soup cures all ailments, for the sake of starting my entry with a noun.

Now then...

I've been suffering the worst case of writer's block I've had in months. I cannot think of any new ideas. Not for writing, not for drawing, nothing. My muse, it seems, has abandoned me.

But fortunately, as there are "be your own boss" self-help methods, I've come up with a "be your own muse" method of restoring your original bliss and inspiration with whatever it is you do.

Think of a person. Any person. Living or dead. Fictional or real.

Then imagine a place. Anywhere. On earth or otherwise.

Now, imagine a time period.

Now you combine the three, and then have your person husking corn with your mother and a Japanese auto dealer.

There you are. Interesting situation. And it sparks up a whole new cloud of "what -ifs" for you to play around with.

Now.... on that note...

I'm Holding a Contest!!!

Create an interpretation of a plastic cup. Anything. An essay, a sculpture, a comic, a painting, a symphony, a novel, a philosophy, a musical. Anything plasticupcentral.

Have fun. Submit your ideas here: bradmante@yahoo.com

I'll award a prize to whomever comes up with the best interpretation.

Ta.
