Mint Tea: This is what you had to say......your endings
1.

'Mint and salt,' she said.
'I like them both,
but you can have too much
of a good thing.'

2.

Luckily she was English.
She was too polite to notice.

3.

Next time we met
She garnished her speech
with a dash of invective.

4.

She was feeling down
Adrenal failure was near.
This way I gave her
A salt and sugar boost
To treat her Addison's Disease

The Activity for: A Variety of Endings

Projects Interactivity / The Saddle Stitch Notebooks:
Mint Tea/Opening the mind to multiple points of view
Hartley's Good Bookshop, May 11, 2006

Over-all Project Goal: To establish a process for interactivity between the author and the readers.

Activities: There will be a variety of activities, including postings of work in process, gathering points of view from the readers, dialogue about the writing process, information about upcoming invents......

Goal for this specific activity: To open our minds, see different points of view, explore, expand, consider options......There is no right answer. There is no best answer. There is no wrong answer. There will be no winner. All responses are valid ideas on the/our world, how it functions and on creating a narrative, telling a story.
