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
