Creative Writing- Monday- 3rd period
If you signed up for a creative writing class and thought you'd be in the Danger Shop or something, Daria would wonder what kind of creative writing you thought you'd be doing.
Also, if she knew what the Danger Shop was yet she'd nope out of here so hard. There was still time to flee if she hadn't taught anything yet.
And that time ended... now.
"Welcome to Creative Writing," Daria began, sounding not at all excited, even if in her own little way she wasn't entirely hating it. Though she wasn't telling them her name, because then they'd know what to call her. "Maybe you're here because you like to write, or because you need the credit, or because you thought you were signing up for something else. That doesn't matter, as long as you turn in your writing every week, and do the best you think you can. Writing is subjective, and talent isn't necessarily as important as getting something out there.
"Since it's the first week and this is a school that throws picnics you welcome new people-" And if you thought she hadn't been wtf'ing over the phone this weekend about that, you would be mistaken. "-your prompt for this week is 'missed connections.' You can write a story about someone you saw and didn't get to talk to, or the type of person you wish was here but wasn't. Make it at least a page. If you need help or need more guidelines, you can see ask, but you have as much freedom as you want. You can spend the rest of class working on it, and it's due next week."
Also, what was with the weekly classes? This place.

Re: Write
Hopefully the teacher wasn't going to have an issue with a little story about a young woman trying to reconnect with her mother and making friends with an invading space alien along the way, full of allegorical allusions to western colonialism and oppression of indigenous peoples.
What? Tip was feeling lazy this week. Filing off the serial numbers of your own lived experiences was a fine creative writing tradition.
As were the little doodled illustrations in the margins. It was hard to capture the true beauty of a Boov eating dental floss from the container like it was spaghetti without a visual.
