Creative Writing; Thursday, Second Period [03/09].

[sake_shinigami]

"Good morning, ducklings ♥!" True to fashion, Shunsui was there in the little writing circle, with plenty of tea and very little intention to teach a class that required a great deal of effort. "Today, I'd like for us to do another writing exercise, much like last week, but with something much more...focused than the mere umbrella of setting in general ♥. Now, one would probably do well to avoid cliches in their writing...a cliche being, of course, an overuse or overdone concept, idea, plot point or phrase...but for the sake of writing exercises? They can be quite useful ♥.

"You've probably heard the line a million times, in fact, and it is a line that is instantly evocative of a time and place: it was a dark and stormy night ♥. Ahhhh, but then what? That is where you come in. Today, we'll be writing stories with that as the first line, and where you take it from there, well....that's up to you, now isn't it ♥?

"We'll spend some time writing, bouncing ideas off each other, and toward the end of class, we'll see where we've wound up on this, indeed, dark and story night ♥."

Listen to the Lecture - Creative Writing, 03/09.

Get some tea, get comfortable, and then probably get writing, because there's not much lecture here to be had.

Your story can be anything, of course, but it must start with the iconic "It was a dark and stormy night" line.

Get inspired by each other, or work entirely on your own, and then share what you've come up with at the end of class.

Whose "dark and story" story absolutely would involve a waterlogged traveler seeking shelter, and things going in a direction that would definitely not be appropriate for a classroom setting.
