Creative Writing course

The talk by Wena Poon was useful, though personally I felt it was a bit repetitive from what we have always been taught about writing a narrative, especially that of structure. Of course I did get some new insights as to how go about livening up the narrative, ie. dialouge and descriptions etc. She was engaging I must say, adding humour and her own personal experiences. The main part of the course was writing a short story ourselves. I had to go off early due to CCA commitments (I had already skipped a sports psychology talk for this), so I would not really know what happened after the break. I was however disappointed at the fact that half the course was writing the story, as I had expected she go through a bit more in depth into creative writing. In any case, this course was not a waste of time and I do not regret having to miss the psychology talk my swimming teacher-in-charge.
