Shunsui was definitely glad to have a day to recuperate a little bit, though recuperating did nothing to diminish his romantic mood.

Well...we'll call it a romantic mood. Luckily, it was a mood that suited the exercise for the day. He let the kids get settled, passed around the coffee and hot chocolate, which was probably a particular comfort with all that rain, and they might have noticed some music playing in the background.

"Welcome back, ducklings ♥," he said. "Last week, we talked about character, and, well, they were definitely...creative ♥." He was being very kind, Stan. "Now we're going to be moving on to things like plot and action and something to write a story about ♥. Sometimes, one writes a story to answer a question: what is they mystery of life ♥? What is love ♥? What is life, death, war, peace, etc, etc, etc ♥? So today, we're going to answer a very important question.

"Take a moment," he continued, "to listen to the song I've got playing ♥. This passionate ballad is sung by the rather...er, commanding presence of one Meat Loaf, in which he declares with dedication that he would do anything for love....but he won't do that ♥.

"So your writing assignment for the day is to answer the question: well, what is that ♥? Take some time to brainstorm and consider, and then write a story, in whichever fashion you see fits it best, about what you, or your character, characters plural, won't do for love ♥.

"Any questions ♥? If not, I'll let you get started, and, as always, feel free to bounce ideas off each other as well ♥."

It made things less work for him.

[[ OCD ~~is on the way~~ has done everything for love, but it did not do that! ]]

Would you do anything for love?

Not that there's much of one, but there is Meat Loaf!

Work alone or in pairs or even as one big group, if you'd like. Bandy around ideas on what the one thing you or your characters would not do for love.

And post what you've come up with here, either in a handwavey fashion describing the piece or with an actual piece itself.

Who is going to be humming that song all day now.

I've been planning this assignment since, like, February. XD And if I ever teach creative writing, it's so going to be used there, too.

Also, that video is one of my favourite videos OF ALL TIME.

Karla jotted down some ideas while she kept an eye out for a partner.

Stan Marsh

"Seriously? We're doing a Meatloaf song?" Hello, Karla. Meet Stan. He was not impressed.

Possibly because he totally wrote an award winning novel once. Oh, Scrottie McBugger Balls.

Lion-o

"I really thought meatloaf was a food," Karla said, also not looking particularly impressed. "Why the Hell would someone use that as a name?"
