Creative Writing Workshop 2022

For the creative writing workshop, we are given assignments intended to help us practice different elements of creative writing. The assignments are: 1. internal monologue; 2. character sketch; 3. dialogue + setting; 4. fable/fairytale/myth; 5. wild card (something from a list of items)

#1: “Father” (Internal Monologue) - a dive into the mind of a man stuck on a plane on his way back from visiting his father on his death bed.

#2: “Him” (Character Sketch) - what the mirror sees and what it doesn’t…

#3: “Talk Therapy” (Dialogue + Setting) - a team-building trip deep in the mountains; a man hearing voices. What could possibly go wrong?

#4: “Heed My Warning” (fable/fairytale/myth) - a girl with a fantastical story; a warning to be heard. Will they listen or will they simply laugh?

#5: Wild Card - an apron; a pan; a child no longer.

Part 2: Hard to Love
