"The words I never said..."

The CW (creative writing) series of journal posts are designed to encourage free form responses. The responses can be written in any manner you wish. In the past, the creative writing assignments have been written as fictional stories, dialogue, poems, and fairytales.

Writing Tips from George Orwell:

1. Never use a metaphor, simile or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
2. Never use a long word where a short one will do.
3. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
4. Never use the passive where you can use the active.
5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
6. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

Write a response of one hundred words or more that illustrates this week's theme.
