I was looking around on my computer last night and found my "writing journal" from my Intro to Creative Writing class 4 YEARS AGO. It was quite entertaining. I thought I would share a sample of something I wrote (without edits)....I hope my writing has improved since then! :)
It has all the requirements you need to study, from books and magazines to computers with the internet. It is supposed to be a place of learning and meditation, but the library is most likely to be a social hot spot. Jimmy sits at his cubicle and cunningly pulls out a book so he doesn't look unprepared. He carefully maneuvers his book so he can watch the world around him instead of studying. He spies a girl in a pink Barbie kiddy pool, rehearsing her synchronized swimming routine. The water splashes out of the pool, flowing and puddling into the corner of the room. The air is so cold that the water freezes and forms a perfect ice skating rink. Students stroll up wearing their skates, jump onto the ice, and begin twirling. All of this is going on next to the boy playing his guitar. He strums his guitar, writing the next big hit. Jimmy looks toward the door and in prances an elephant behind its trainer. The elephant rises, balances on two feet, then collapses to the ground, causing a minor earthquake. Books rattle on the shelves; a few falling out of place and piling up on the ground. The Outdoor Sports Club uses the mountain of books as rock climbing practice. Behind all of the computers, some students have set up targets for archery practice. With arrows whizzing overhead, Jimmy looks down and writes the first paragraph of his English essay.
It's amazing that I am not yet a published author! :)
