Today we embarked on an adventure to Delco Park. We met up
with another author named Rob E. Boley and he showed us a different side of
writing. What I learned was that writing was not just a big wall of words. For
example, we did an activity that used three random words to use as a base for a
haiku. My three words were “our, native, and tree.” This is what I got out of
it,
Our home is broken
Native to our memories
Tree is my buddy
It was fun to come up with a random haiku from random words.
Also, I learned that we could also make dialogue from random words. This time,
we used a whole sentence instead of three random words. My words were, “No
other region in the Eastern US can compete with the Smokies for growing tall
trees.” I created a dialogue that started with a dark conversation but it was
hard coming up with sentences that made sense.
“NO one could defeat the darkness of death.”
“OTHER than me of course. I protect the Region of Hope.”
“REGION of hope? Hope is nothing but an illusion designed to
hide the truth of the fact that death is inevitable.”
“IN the light, through the darkness, there is always hope.”
“THE fact that you still hold on to that myth, shows that
you are already drowned in darkness.”
“EASTERN.”
“US?”
“CAN you please stop saying random stuff?”
“COMPETE with the logic of truth. You started it!”
“WITH the light, right?”
“THE idiot. What is wrong with you?”
“SMOKIES my homies.”
“FOR death.”
“GROWING up to die. Wait, why am I talking about death?”
“TALL you stood but now you die.”
“TREES will grow from my death. Hope lives on.”
This activity showed me another aspect in writing. Also, it
will help me come up with ideas when it comes to writing.
