I never grow tired of Summerland. It’s a manifestation of beauty and promise in its most purest form. — Damen

Author Alyson Noel creates a place, in her Immortal Series, where anything her characters dream up, shows up.

Create your very own Summerland and write about what you would like to happen there. Describe an active scene, making sure you include all the visions, sounds, smells and textures. Who else is with you, or are you alone?

315. My Marvelous Profile

Suggested time: 20–90 minutes

Design a profile page that represents you, but with the characteristics or superpowers of a real person or fictional character that you truly admire. Follow a look and feel similar to what you might find on Facebook.

Compose the page from your point of view, in character, as if you are joining Facebook or another social media site and want to make friends. Make sure that viewers have enough information to feel like they have been adequately introduced.

Here are a few items you might include:

An image
Relationship status
Profile information (male or female, family information, hometown, birthday, age, and so on)
Activities (skateboarding, paintballing, intergalactic exploration)
Interests (music, movies, games, books, theatre)
About me (short bio, approximately three sentences)
Status—what’s on your mind? (What are you up to at this moment?)

316. A Mask

Leela — Sun, 03 Mar 2013 17:56:25 +0000

Suggested time: 10–15 minutes

Masks, designed and worn since antiquity, are a significant part of most cultures. Wearing a mask disguises your face and personality as you take on the spirit or identity of whatever the mask represents. Masks can represent almost anything: forces of nature, supernatural beings, ancestors, animals, celebrities, and so on.

Describe a time when you felt like you were wearing a mask.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. — Oscar Wilde
