These ideas are pretty applicable to the theme and will help you think through your contribution. Don't get intimidated! You can take it easy and let it flow . I'm just being thorough about what I want. Once you know the structure and the rules, you can feel free to break them into beautiful (or purposely fugly) shards.
PROMPTS
Ideas for your pages.
"Your mind is like a garden. Cultivate what you want to live: mercilessly weed around what you want to cultivate. Nourish the vegetation you prefer."
1. put together a collage of influences. even just pictures or references to what you LIKE.
2. manifest (create) a scene you want to exist
4. explicate an observation that an alien, you, would make about the stimuli around you
5. quote a saying or implication or advice designed by parental units
6. something bad or upsetting or uncomfortable you love and wish would be preserved. for example, swearing or death metal, bullying, rudeness, racism.
7. write a dialogue between two people. one person cuts through artifice to address what they really want to talk about or to do.
9. pick one food, one color, one more color, and one small thing. make these black and white.

1. Kill one of your influences. "If you had to murder one of your beloved influences (a friend or family, a scientist or artist, a musician or architect or technologist or theorist or writer), who would you slay? How? Where?"
3. That's all I want, to be invited to a pool party. -Giant Sand Worm. "The reason GSM does the things he does is because he spends his time in sand. But he just wants to swim with the ocean worms! Are you aiming for some goal for the goal itself? For what it might bring you?"
4. Everyone has a talent. "In the magical land of Xanth, instead of a vote, everyone has a talent. That talent might be putting a spot on the wall, or the ability to project one's voice or being able to hear inanimate objects speak. Do you notice others' talents? What is yours?"
6. How to be Free in an Unfree World. linky "How do you create your own personal autonomy amidst so much judgement, so many requirements, and so many ideas on what the right choices are?"
7. Don't be judged. "howLAB's motto #7 (howlab.tumblr.com). What do you judge yourself about? Being late? Not having a job? How are these things integral to your character, miniscule problems to you that others judge harshly about?"
8. We were put here on earth to Fart Around. don't let anyone tell you any different. - Steve Jobs. "What do you like to do that is considered 'nothing' or 'wasting time' or 'farting around'?"
9. We are often entranced by the news of the hour, directly or indirectly. Not even the 'iron hour'. We neglect or underweight the literature of the subconscious, of dreams, of the SOUL. (nooooooo) "In which ways do you ignore the din of present day social existence? What are you entraced by that is fed by the stream of millenniums?"
