The creative writing course was very useful. Ms Wena Poon, the course facilitator, was highly engaging. She had lots of illustrations and her experiences to explain her points, making it easy for everyone to understand. She also added some humour while speaking, making the course more lively and interesting.
In this course, I gained new insights on the techniques and styles of writing. For example, Ms Poon explained the various structures of stories using a graph. She also taught us how to capture the reader's attention through vivid description and most importantly, dialogues. This was especially useful as RI Book Club had to participate in the READ Singapore essay competition.
During the course, we also had a chance to practise writing a short story on one of the six stuff toys displayed at the front of the room. Due to time constrains, Ms Poon did not have enough time to finish reading all stories, thus she only read the first three essays for each of the six categories and picked the best from the three. My essay was in the middle of the pile, so mine was not selected.
Overall, this course has been a fruitful one and I had enjoyed myself and learnt a lot.
