today's lesson seemed rather brief, coz much of the time was spent afterwards with the teacher discussing withe veryone their plans for stories and whatnot.
but first we went through feedback of more stories we read over the week, and presented our stories about setting the scene.
apparently mine was better than i thought, as it appealed to all senses and integrated them (eg. as genvin said, the sound of echoes gave the room a visual appearance that it was large and empty)
good stuff i guess ^^
we have 2 tasks for next week:
the first is to critique smoeone else's work, preferably one that's been subscribed, so others know what we're tlaking about.
the second is to take on the persona of a character's (eg the one from last week) point of view and write as them.
this should be interesting.
i really should read those previous works more properly though.. it would help.
and i gained another idea for my story today.
a relatively old dude, his story, and at the same time a young boy's story. integrated of course. what we dont reveal is that they are the same person, we dont reveal this until like the end. when the child puts a book down, and the old guy picks it up after, all dusty etc. something like that.
and of course there's my original idea, which should be easier than other ideas. 2 people (around our age im guessing, coz its easier to get actors), from different schools (obviously one would be from ours to make it easier) and somehow how they are connected. i still think the idea of the web conversation is good. but i cant think of a story.. just the concept.
how frustrating.
