WRITING OBSTACLE
Submitted by Maranda Quinn
Show a powerful emotion – love, grief, rage - in a quiet, everyday moment.
Instead of writing a dramatic and drawn out scene, think about how subtle actions and sensory details can carry the weight of the feeling.
Daydream
Everyday
There’s a moment of freedom
Sitting on that fence
Wind blowing through my hair
Blowing on my face
The sunlight
Beaming on my skin
The sound of birds chirping
And winds winding
And water waving
Yet it’s just a daydream
I’m still sitting in a classroom
At a desk
With homework to do
People talking all around
The clock ticking
Until the bell finally rings
And it’s time for the next boring class
