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.

Grammar and proof-reading and spelling had never been much of a difficult issue for Valentine, and she was enough of a nerd about language to actually enjoy the exercises. It was a good way to transition back into the school mindset, too, after having been a cat for so long, on top of sisterly duties yesterday.
