Cento Weekly Challenge #2:

Play with your bits of fairy dust!

Play around with assembling your excerpts. (Be sure to include the page numbers with the excerpts, for later use.) Remember, you don’t need to have an overall topic or framework in mind for your cento. Embrace the process and see what emerges.

You might try grouping your excerpts by similar, related, or contrasting

• images

• themes

• sounds or rhymes

• voices

You might also want to group excerpts by your sense of whether they might work well toward the beginning, the middle, or the end of the cento.

Try different combinations and orders. This week, set nothing in stone. Have fun!

Share one of your favorite “groupings of gold” in the comments!

P.S. If you’d like to chat with other Rafters about this quest, get the Raft app! Look for the 30-Day Quest thread to connect with other questers!
