"I cannot be awake for nothing looks to me as it did before, or else I am awake for the first time, and all before has been a mean sleep" ~ Walt Whitman
Challenge: Write a piece that has the same general meaning as this quote, but don't use the sleep/waking metaphor.
Tip: When writing prose, have a voice that's unique to the character/narrator. No two pieces should sound the same. To make sure you have an accurate voice, think about how the character is and match a voice to that. If they're sporadic, maybe their story is all over the place and not completely focused. If they're bitter, maybe their story is very sarcastic and snide. Play around with the voice until it fits the character.
Ready. Set. Unravel.
