Writing Fix: Unlikely Diary Keepers

Curated by ACT

The writer will assume the role of a living creature (like an arthropod) or an abstraction (like a fraction). Writers will do research on what they have chosen as their roles, and learn new facts about these roles. The writer will compose a 5- or 10-day diary, from the point-of-view of his/her role; each entry must contain a reference to a newly learned fact, and some entries should try to include humor (just as Doreen Cronin does in her book Diary of a Worm).
