Friends, in Writing
Friend stories too shy to say out loud
This is a conversation shared by taking turns writing, without speaking.
This sheet is about “friends.” From the friends who stay to the ones who drifted away, and then back around to what kind of friend you are.
How it works
- Agree not to say anything out loud.
- Start at ① and read in order, then take turns writing one line each in the left and right columns.
- Wait while the other person writes, without hurrying them along.
- Once you've both finished, read it all together from the beginning.
When · with whom
Two people sitting face to face do this. The more a topic tends to raise voices when spoken, the better it fits.
Three questions about "friends"
- What do the friends who last have in common?
- Have you ever thought of a friend you drifted away from?
- What kind of friend are you?
