My original story was the bomb.

The opening was describing this chick lying in a bathtub drowning in a freezer with her arms swinging on butchers hooks in a freezer room.

Then I got told not to cause of the graphic descriptive language. I was disappointed cause that was a technique in itself the descriptive language

actually, i would love to end a story with "i woke up and it had all been a dream" just for fun one time. like a deadly serious story. and then just stick it on the end

one of my friend's did this amazing story where they basically filled it with as many cliches as they could, teachers said it was fun, postmodern and intertextual :p


i'll tell you what really annoys me in creative writing tho -
when people have melodramatic deaths.
and its pretty hard to not write death as cliched/overdramatic.
DEATH IS OFF LIMITS UNLESS U THINK U CAN DO IT WELL OK?
just my opinion
I did that cause my teacher told me she would eat my testicles. and then put a single line through it so she could still see it. She was not amused
