At Extension Writing today, the group welcomed Alex and Sam who have joined us from Room 8.  The sharing of each other's writing today managed to scare us, inspire us and challenge us.  What a talented group of writers we have!  Here are some beginnings so far...

A patch of blue shone out of the sea of gray. Light fell through the gap in the impenetrable wall of clouds making the canyon glow orange in the late afternoon. The rocks stood like the towers of an ancient temple. The forest of pillars, a barren rocky landscape. Life was near impossible. But it went on. (Oscar)

Showers of bird calls bounced of the roof of the shack like little pebbles. Adoni sat on the crate outside embracing the warm breeze blowing past. (Tabi)

A dark presence pushed itself upon my mind sending daggers of psychic force burrowing into my very being. (Finn)

We also have 2 groups of students writing screenplays - they successfully wrote the script for the upcoming School Production and now feel inspired to not only write another screenplay, but they want to produce and direct it as well! Can't wait to have a progress update from them!

I love writing. 

I love the swirl and swing of words 
as they tangle with human emotions.
