Creative Writing--So Simple Even You Can Do It! (Probably)

So, not only had Navaan remembered that there was class today, she'd gone out of her way to schedule a trip for it. It was her way of letting the class know she was fond of them, but in a way that didn't involve, y'know, flang.

Their portal dropped them off outside of R. R. Donnelley and Sons--or, as people might be slightly more familiar with it, The Lakeside Press. There, they were met by a dubious-looking tour guide. The Lakeside Press didn't often give tours of its printing facility and they had never given one to a small class of students being led by a woman in a plague doctor mask and cloak.

Sorry for your sensibilities, Tour Guide. But Navaan was still explosively allergic to the sunlight.

"Today, for your final, we're going to show you how a large run of books are printed and produced for shipment to bookstores," Navaan said cheerfully. "And when that's over, I have a small surprise for you!"

Be honest, how many of you were a little afraid right now?

There isn't much of a lecture from Navaan, but your tour guide has a lot to say!

After the tour was over, the class was escorted back into a small room where there were snack platters and sodas waiting for them. On one table was a small pile of books with...interesting covers (http://2012books.lardbucket.org/books/culture-and-media/section_06/ce5f4e8c976892dcf915011aa50421aa.jpg), and the name 'Felicia Navaan' on the spine.

"This is my newest book, hot off the presses!" Navaan said proudly, holding one up to show the class. It was literally still warm, yes. "For your final, you all get a copy. Yay!"

Congratulations?

"So until our portal back is ready, feel free to eat, drink, and read. Or even read out loud!"

Their tour guide suddenly remembered something VERY PRESSING that needed his attention. Elsewhere. Immediately.

Oh, Sparkle was going to read the hell out of this.

He was already coming up with the drinking game as he flipped open to the first page. If he was blind or in a coma by Christmas, he totally brought that upon himself.

There's a much smaller printing/binding apparatus tucked away in the corner of the room. It looks a lot like an industrial-sized printer, actually. There, students can upload their own finished works, choose a cover from thousands of public domain images (http://publicdomainarchive.com/), and then get a copy of their own book!

That's right, kids! You could go home with two books today!

If anyone wants to read a passage or two from Spicy Detective, they can! Alternately, feel free to read something from your own novel/novella/whatever!

[Basically, if you feel like making something crazy up and attributing it to Navaan's book, go right ahead!]

Anders, who has been indispensable this semester!

...Looking for an autograph, maybe?

Ugh, I dun wanna have to pack for Florida. Boooo.
