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.

Alone

Just sitting there

At the table

Wondering if they notice

That I haven’t spoken at all

That I am silent

That I have silent tears in my eyes


It was like that all day

Sitting there

Alone

With no one to talk to

It was me

My art

And my book

Where I was able to escape
