Suffolk Writers' Studio

Write a “conversation” in which no words are said.  This exercise is meant to challenge you to work with gesture, body language and all the things we convey to each other without words.  We often learn more about characters in stories from the things they do with their hands than from what they say.  It might be best to have some stranger observe this conversation, rather than showing us the thoughts of one of the people involved in the conversation, because the temptation to tell us what the conversation is about is so great from inside the conversation.  500 words
