These activities have helped me to unleash my imagination more. Just writing and seeing where it takes me are great exercises for developing ideas. I appreciate your classes. Here's a fragment of what I was able to complete in 7 days:

 

"A lot of time had passed, first 5, then 10, 15, 20 minutes. I had always left it on the bed. Now it was gone. The meeting was in an hour, and the trip was 40 minutes long. I had been absentminded, but I couldn't understand why something so important would be missing. I suspected—no, I was sure—that it had been taken. And who better than that being who likes to take things without permission? To find what was lost, I had to go down to where things are lost."
