Creative Writing, Period 6 2/7

Yuki had been sitting in the classroom long before class started. Seems to him like it’s the only quiet place left on this whole island...

After the class is gathered he stands, “Hello again. Today you’re going to be writing. You remember the characters you’ve been working with? Now it’s time to give these characters motivations and goals. With those decided it’ll build your plot. You want your story to have a purpose. Today you should decide that purpose, and make sure that it’s something that’s important to you. If you don’t care about what you’re writing it’ll be harder to write.”

“You should start to craft some minor characters if you need them. Make a logical way for your characters to “grow” or meet their goals. If you want to discuss in pairs then you can, but by the end of the class I want to see a list of goals for the two main characters you made, and a few ideas for what your stories plot might be. By next week I want you to have a concrete idea of what your story is about.”

((ooc: Wow it’s past my bed time.))

Turtle shrugged, leaning back in her chair. "Alice's uncle died and left a really weird will that said she could only have his mansion if she stayed the night there. And, since Alice is into real estate and it's a real hot property, and she didn't know that it's haunted, she figured, why not?"

Turtle? Also guilty of stealing from real life events? Pssshh. Surely you jest.

"Whose ghost haunts the house?" he asked, eager to know more about the story. "Is it a Hollow." He hoped Turtle's characters weren't in that kind of danger.

"I haven't actually decided," Turtle said, after a brief moment to consider, "if I want it to be a real ghost, or if they just think it's a ghost. What's a Hollow? Is that a special kind of ghost? You think maybe it should be one?"

Nova attempted to explain Hollows to Turtle handwavily because I don't even remember what they say on the cartoon (the mask and hole in the chest). He even attempted a Rukia style drawing (http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i257/Conejitablue/b_10_003.jpg).

He ended simply, "Hollows devour souls." He wondered if Turtle had an interest in horror stories.

Turtle's eyes were a little wide lol rukia drawing, her head tilted slightly. "Wow. Those are...those are some ghosts. I, uh, if it is gonna be a real ghost, I don't think it'll be one of those...."

Nova nodded. He crossed his arms and stared down silently for a while. After some thought he said, "I'm...out of ideas."

Turtle shrugged. "Does that...mean we're done, then? We got our goals; that's all we had to do, right?"

Nova frowned at the collective lack of idea exchange.

"I supposed so..."
