Hi! I'm Max Sarkowsky. Welcome to the first project of my new production company Root of Wonder.
The mission of this project is to create a series of Soundwalks from writings that have been created during the COVID-19 Pandemic curated around the prompt Rerouting.
The theme of Routes, specifically how we route and root the emotions, pain, and feelings we have as humans in our bodies and in space, connects well to our current moment. The idea of the word "Route" as an action that can be done (to route something) as well as a journey or path that can be taken (to follow a route) is an important reminder that we make the choice to either be active or passive in our lives every day.
This is a time of tremendous change, and I invite you to write about it. Together, we will create a series of writings collaboratively shaped into Soundwalks.
If you'd like to learn more about what Soundwalks are, and their history, click this link to the FAQ page.
If you're ready to begin, see the instructions and full prompt below. Happy writing!
Writers, please receive the prompt below and ask questions if you need to...
...then begin!
You are invited to create a short work of writing in any genre and in any form.
Your creation should be written with a real location on Earth in mind.
Use the following prompt and definitions as a launch point:
Rerouting
ROUTE - A way or course taken in getting from a starting point to a destination.
To send or direct along a specified course.
ROUT - To cut a groove, or any pattern not extending to the edges in a surface.
Another term for Root.
ROOT - To establish deeply and firmly.
The basic cause, source, or origin of something.
Create your short works with a real-world location in mind. If you feel inspired, please record a short audio file of the location you had in mind as you were writing and upload it as well.
Please upload your work below once completed (You'll need to be signed-in to a Google account):
Root of Wonder begins working with writers (you!) to create the Soundwalk content by forming production teams for each project.
Collaborators work together to finalize each Soundwalk.
Collaborators work with Root of Wonder to distribute each Soundwalk.
