Your assignment: Making it real
Write a 300-word scene in which a character is overwhelmed by something he or she has seen. What is the extraordinary thing? What is it that makes it so special? How does this thing effect his/her emotions? Bring that place alive. Use characters and dialogue if you want, if that helps to add to the vivacity of the piece, and avoid the clichés at all costs. When you’re ready, share in the forum for peer-to-peer feedback. Make sure you give feedback to others as well – the more you give, the more you’re likely to receive.
Once you’ve shared your work and given feedback on others, hit ‘mark complete’ to progress to the next lesson.
