Creative Writing [Tuesday, 5th Period]
Rick had sent an email informing his class to meet at the main campfire, where he sat, typing on his laptop.
"Hey there," he said, grinning, once the class had arrived. "My name's Richard Castle, and I'll be taking you for Creative Writing, and before anyone asks, yes, I am the same Richard Castle who wrote the Derek Storm novels. Basically what we'll be spending the next few weeks doing, is going over some of the process, and with any luck you will be taking an idea and taking all the way though to a finished story."
"And ideas are where it all starts. They can be character-based, they can plot-based, but without an idea, a seed to grow from, you can't even start writing a story. However, as we all know, sometimes it can be hard to find ideas and inspiration, which is why I bought this." Rick held up a large glass jar filled with slips of paper. "The Big Jar-O-Prompts."
Rick shook the jar as he continued "So, what's going to happen is that you're all going to give me your names, where you're from, why you choose this class, and something interesting about yourself, and I will give you an idea from the Big Jar-O-Prompts, which you will build your story around. Now, how you incorporate it in your story is up to you, but I do want to be able to see some form of it in the finished product."
"Also, I'm going to need a couple of teaching assistants, so anyone who's interested come up and see me after class."
