Creative Writing- Monday- 1st period

[gotyoucookie]

As soon as class begun, Nick announced, "Last week didn't happen!"

There. That took care of that.

"So uh, how are you all doing with the writing? Plugging along? Anyone having any problems?" Like writing in a character having a good day that Nick now wanted you to forget about? "We're going to try writing some more of what you plotted out, but I guess we should probably check in or something."

How's the writing going? Feel free to reply to each other too.

"Is endless screaming an appropriate reaction?" Tahani asked.

Re: Discussion

[gotyoucookie]

"Endless screaming means you're a real writer!"

It did, though.

Re: Discussion

[sexy_giraffe]

Tahani looked thrilled to hear that. "I am, aren't I?"

Re: Discussion

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"You aren't planning on starting, are you?" Belle was very tolerant. She was not going to sit here and listen to screams.

Re: Discussion

[sexy_giraffe]

"Not as such," Tahani hedged.

Re: Discussion

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"Please don't," Belle said.

If you scream, Tahani, she might have to wear a matching dress to every dance you both attended until the end of time. She wouldn't know why. She'd just feel compelled.

"This story is just going nowhere!"

In that it didn't magically write itself while Tahani painted her nails.

Re: Discussion

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"Not all stories have to go somewhere," Belle pointed out.

Sometimes a little fluffy slice-of-life story was exactly what the situation called for!

Re: Discussion

"It's so epic in my head and then nothing," Tahani groaned.

Re: Discussion

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"Oh, I do enjoy an epic story," Belle said. "But quiet, simple ones can be lovely as well! Not everything need be exciting."

Re: Discussion

[sexy_giraffe]

Tahani tilted her head. "Not everything needs to be exciting? I don't understand."

Re: Discussion

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"You've never enjoyed a quiet, cozy story?"

Belle was judging you a little Tahani. But just a little. So far.

Re: Discussion

[sexy_giraffe]

"Perhaps I haven't found the right one yet," Tahani said.

Re: Discussion

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"I'm sure you could find something to suit you in the library! There are so many options there."

Re: Discussion

[sexy_giraffe]

"I haven't gone to the library--" ever, "--in quite some time," Tahani said. "I shall have to explore!"

Re: Discussion

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"I go often," Belle said. Even if every time had been handwaved, it still counted! "I think it's my favorite place in the school."

Re: Discussion

[sexy_giraffe]

"I like my room," Tahani said. "It's full of mermaid furniture."

Re: Discussion

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"Was it made by mermaids?" Belle wondered. How would that even work? "Or does it look like mermaids? What makes it mermaid furniture?"

Re: Discussion

[sexy_giraffe]

"It looks like mermaids," Tahani said, "but it could've also been made by mermaids. I got it by shaking a lot of trees!"

She frowned. "It was a very odd week."

Re: Discussion

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"It's fine," Belle said. She certainly hadn't ripped up several physical pages in a fit of rage last week or anything like that. Absolutely not. How dare the narrative imply such a thing.

"A little slow, perhaps."

Writing

[gotyoucookie]

So take that discussion and... write something.
