Dream to Reality

Mid October I went with the usual group of writers to Onjuku for a Writer's Workshop/Retreat. There were so many tips and tricks that I learnt in that two day and there were also so many fears and phobia that I concurred that weekend.

The difference is I lie for a reason

I have been going through small challenges these past few months and I had a breakdown for a while back and I felt a little better yesterday. Today, I force myself to be in a room of people, familiar and unfamiliar.

I guess this is the best way for me to de-stress myself.

Ballet Shoes, Soccer Ball and a Wheelchair

I have not been going for any writer’s circle for the past few months and have not been doing any creative writing for a while. For the fear of losing my hold on the English language, I asked a friend to help me out and she would give me prompts for me to write.

I would very much welcome any kind of response to better my writing.

Time given to write was 10 minutes.

The prompt was: “Ballet Shoes, Football Ball and a Wheelchair”

3 Emotions

I made a huge mistake here but I guess I might as well put it up anyways. I did not attend the first two workshops but I tried my hands on the homework anyways.

The question was to choose 3 emotions and describe the emotion using all the way possible (all ways meant by using all 5 senses). I did not know what the ways was so I decided to just pick 3 emotions and describe them in 3 ways.

Missing

I was surprised when I heard the news about the missing flight MH 370. When the media released the list of passengers and crews on board, my heart just broke. It was sad enough that it happened, but knowing it happened to the people that I knew seemed so far from my thought.

Funny Feeling

I wrote that short phrase (I don't think it could even be called a poem) somewhere in May of '09 during a sleepless night apparently. Funnily enough, I remembered what happened the day this popped up in my brain. A mistake that I have done over and over again.

Electronic Trance

Something I came up with just to flush away the blocks in my mind. Writing, idea and any other kind of block that was in my head at the moment. 

Here's the mini rant I wrote in about 2 minutes.

Picture based Essay

The moderator gave us a picture and we were free to write about anything that we wanted to. This practice is related to my last post where we had to list down our observation of the picture.

Time given to write was 10 minutes.

Listing Thoughts

The moderator gave us each a picture. 1 minute was given to observe the picture and 2 minutes to list down the observed thoughts.
Unfortunately I did not take a picture of that picture to be posted here.

It was a picture of 2 kids on christmas morning holding stockings in front of a fire place. A very tipical christmas picture of the 80s and early 90s.
