Creative Writing [Tuesday, 5th Period]

[cuff-me-once.livejournal.com]

Today, Rick's class was back in the class-room, where Rick leant against his desk, his arms crossed and not at all looking like he'd redone his class-plan at the last moment.

When everyone had arrived, he began;

"Writers seem much more legit,
When they know how to edit.

Your works will never be best-selling,
If you seem to have no grasp of spelling.

An audience will start to clamour,
When you have atrocious grammar.

Likewise they'll think you're dense,
If you can't keep consistent tense.

Their opinions will certainly start to worsen,
When, random, you go from first- to third-person.

They'll start crying for their Momma,
If you can't learn to use a comma.

So to help ensure no nasty surprises,
Please to do the following exercises."

Rick pointed to a stack of print-outs, and sat back down behind his desk.

Listen to the Lecture - CW [Week Five]

Which Rick totally didn't come up with at the last moment after he realised just how wrong his planned class sounded in rhyme. Really.

Speaking in rhyme was almost as bad as singing, as far as Joan was concerned.

The rhyming was a distraction, and Kate really liked those today.

Chloe may have been feeling a bit horrified listening to this lecture.

Valentine's mouth, which was grinning sharply against her will, was hidden in her hand as she tried desperately to look attentive and not ridiculously amused by the rhyming.
