Stories from words of the day
From the
interesting list of words the writers crafted a range of interesting stories - The
Red Lion, The priest, About Joe, The hip shooters, Never know the difference,
In the village and The words we bring along.
Five writers read a range of stories covering the topics - The blue and white brick,
Three cheers for dogs, High heels are false friends and a treasured gift, Dogs
to the port side and How I quit cigarettes (a persuasive argument).
Two exercises of two words
We used the two
words “pebble and salute” to write a range of amusing stories - Active and
healthy, Men with medals, Fred Flintstone, Day dreaming on the beach, Ripples
in the water, The morning sun, A beautiful scene and The passing out parade.
We also used the
words “pet and slouch” and wrote - I do it every day, Old Fred, I had many
pets, All stand up straight, at the dog show, Not pretty pets, Get me a cuppa
and The youth and the ferret.
