[ remember that we meet in the Dragon's Tail in the Library on Tuesday]

For Tuesday—The Familiar as Frontier

250-500 words
Pick a place that you regularly visit. Cafeteria, dorm lounge, workplace, restaurant. Go there and deliberately see it for the first time. What do you notice that, because of familiarity and routine, you ceased to notice. Become aware of the scene as much as possible. Look in odd corners, make the peripheral central. Take lots of notes. Record conversations. Observe the familiar in a writerly way

Then write a short description of this place.
