Writing Fiction- 2.4 Imagining writing spaces
(Trying to picture the worst place for you to try to write can help you realise what your best venue might be.)
Here is my attempt:
‘You have to write a paragraph and then discuss it with the class.’said professor Nickles with a strict tone in his voice,‘You have fifteen minutes.’.
Two phrases Julie hated the most. She couldn’t write anything good when requested, though she has written some wonderful stories in the past. As she opened her notebook and took a pencil out of her bag, her mind went completely blank.
‘The clock is ticking.’yelled professor after a while and that made her jump, like he brought her back to life with a defibrillator.
Not a single word was written and those ten minutes went by quickly. The professor was standing behind her right shoulder waiting for her to fail to accomplish the task and cold sweat was running down her spine. Julie melted on her desk, her head rested on her left arm. She felt defeated and then, as if by magic, her right hand, the one holding the pencil, started to move. It was like it was possessed by the pencil and the pencil had a mind of its own. Slowly words appeared on the paper and professor left out a sound as he read them and walked straight to his desk huffily. Julie saw what she wrote, or her hand had,'Stop staring at my paper'. She formed a smile and gave up.

It was late at night when Ron jumped out of bed. He had the strangest dream ever about pirates and aliens, running and fighting. It was intense and he had to write it down . He didn't even turn on the lights because he thought the dream will go away. As he started to write, his mind relived the dream, sweat was dripping from his forehead and his heart was beating faster than ever. Words kept coming and his dream was made into a story. After what seemed like a few minutes or even seconds he had written ten pages of good fiction material and two pages of additional notes to read in the morning and use in the future. He was satisfied and decided to go back to sleep.
