The stories from words of the day
Exhortation, Made
up words, The shopping centre, Imbalance in the world, The leaders of our
world, A rush, Bad moves, I had the flu, Harmony and I’ve tried to hug a tree.
Seven excellent
homework readings of George and Olive – Opposites attract; Living an illusion –
a poem; Mother, Daughter and JJ - (very funny from David C); An abandoned chair; Michael, Myra
Exercise 1 – include three objects
David R asked us
to write a story or poem including a bucket filled with a mysterious pink
substance, an unopened letter and elderly white horse.
A few writers were side tracked by pink poisons however, we created stories
about Old Jack; Ben and Lady; Nellie and I are elderly; The wash; The white
clothes horse; If I don’t open it; Bill licked his final gummy stamp; Fatal stuff;
The horse looked bad; and Trouble followed.
Exercise 2 - select an object
We each selected
an object from Leonie’s mystery bag and wrote stories about the items as if a fly
on the wall.
The brilliant
stories described Awoke to blackness, I’ve travelled many kilometres, I had to
have the small vase (very witty from David C), Thinking of cuff links, Memories
from buttons, Joy in moon light, The coolness of water and Two tattooed men in
a motel room (very funny story from Terry.
Take one, some or
all of the following and write a story or poem
- A sentimental object from home
- Your favourite song
- A bad friend or dog
