Take your pencil and put it to the paper. Let your hands dance across the keyboard. Start with something. Anything. No matter how small, or how insignificant. Start small and build from there. This new world is yours to create and do with as you please, so have fun.
There was once a man who knew nothing of where he was. He did not mind for he had all he thought he could possibly want, food, water, and a place to call his home.
One day, he came across a travelling man who told tales from seemingly far beyond the mans small world. This far away world seemed so different. So the man asked the traveller if he too could come see this new world. The traveller obliged and off they went, to go explore the greater unknown.
After some time, the man grew weary of the journey and asked the traveler if they could rest. However, the traveler insisted that they keep moving. On they travelled. Autumn came and went. The winter was long and harsh, but nonetheless the traveler and the man persisted, continuing the journey.
Finally, once Spring came around, the traveler turned to the man and said
“We are here.”
The man stepped past the traveler, and what lay before his eyes was everything he could possibly dream of and more.
The journey may be long and treacherous, but the end result can be whatever you so desire. Just take it one step at a time.
This is my favourite piece that I have written for creative writing thus far. Writing this piece was interesting because I didn’t know exactly what was supposed to be done for the assignment, but it was a lot of fun to write because it was so open to interpretation which allowed me to write whatever came to mind. One thing I learned from this was that I need to work on my details, and how to properly format dialogue in my work.
