WRITING OBSTACLE

Write a character's internal monologue that includes an example of stream of consciousness.

Stream of consciousness is a literary technique that represents the flow of a character's thoughts and feelings as they occur in real time, without logical order or punctuation.

Books Are Hard To Write, Okay?

What Iโ€™m the world? My head is spinning. The daily prompt for English Class is โ€œMake a story about a hero that saves the townโ€. What does the teacher think we are, kindergarteners? I miss the creative prompts that Mrs.Brewer used to give us. They werenโ€™t so vague.

Okay, think. What could be the name of your hero? What super powers do they have? Everyone is going to say something like โ€œFlyingโ€ or โ€œTurning Invisibleโ€. I swear some girl in here is going to say, โ€œ Ice Powers like Elsa!โ€ or something.

Thereโ€™s nothing good left. All the good powers and super hero names are taken. โ€œSea Girl? Magnet Boy? Metal Woman?โ€ I couldnโ€™t think of anything worse. Gosh, I hate these prompts. (P.S, this is not in any way a dig at the prompts given to us by the app. I love them, and they are so creative!)

Shoot. Time is up. Well, she never checks them, so I can just put my book up and never think about this again, right? Right.
