An idea for a "patterning" segmented story could detail my pre-match match routine, how it helps me focus, the meaning behind some of the things I do, and how those circumstances helped shape me as a person. I feel that the structure of routines is important when we try to maintain a certain level of consistency when undertaking challenges. Using the structure of my pre-game routine can help shape the structure of the story.
An idea I had for a piece using juxtaposition, I write from the perspective of myself in college describing my activities, experiences, etc, and responding to it in the form of emails from my mother. We exchanged e-mails routinely, and even though I wouldn't always tell her EVERYTHING, she always had words of inspiration and advise that helped me through trying times. I could also incorporate some parallelism by using past/present voice between the corresponding segments.
