Color is a powerful tool in writing. Proper description and hints at the coloring of settings and objects- and yes, even people- can set the scene with emotions that the writer wishes to convey. The proper combinations of colors can warn of impending disaster, show a character slipping into depression, or finish off a happy ending with a nice little bow.
The most common example of color association is black and white- black is often associated with night, darkness...evil, if you will. And on the opposite side of the spectrum, there is white. White is usually shown as being light, hope, and on the side of good.
So what is the purpose of this exercise series?
I want you to take a color that I give you...and twist it. I want you to take the common feeling of a color, weave it into your writing, and then shatter the preconception of what we thought it was. I want you to make an evil color good, and a good color evil. I want love to turn to hatred, and hatred to love.
...I'm sure you get the point.
Post length- anything!
Setting, genre, style- anything!
Wanna write a poem? Sure. One sentence? Sure. A novel will be fine if that's what you wanna do.
Really, the only thing I ask is that you (a: twist the association and (b: tell me if you don't want me to give your writing a review.
Happy writing, folks!
