Week 4 comes to a close with a final episode on style and how to make it work for you. We're halfway through! Eep!
Halfway!
I’m on my mandated day off and am at the library in the study room, apparently it gets busy in here? I’m here to find out :D
Oh dw I am now h y p e r a w a r e

(btw I did get my haircut - too chicken to ask her to curl it a little so it’s a straight bob and I look like I’m about to ask to speak to the manager).
Third person limited YEAH WOO
Omg that poetry takeaway :D Awwwww that’s so sweet omg
Post apocalyptic style would be too easy I think.
Second would be really difficult but irreverently funny.
Been scarred by rewriting something as a deliberately poorly written fairy tale fairy recently.
OKAY TWO
No Dobbins you had to have been there to understand the sheer magnitude of the baffoonry on show, but I'll break it down for you.
First, let me be clear, this is not the kind of establishment that I would keenly attend nowadays. Some credit card bought package deal full of people who bought their holiday from coupons out of The Sun. You know the type, the hotels built exactly like the estates they all came from, food was English through and through - only thing different was the latitude. It’s no wonder the kid nearly died.
So there I was, not five minutes out from the “collect as much money as you can from the bottom of the pool” game (which, by the way, was begged off the hundreds of parents half dunk half asleep around the pool). The winners had already been declared (not me, though it should have been - some poor excuse for a lifeform grabbed coins from my hand. I guess they needed the money more than me) but we were all back down there to find any scraps. A could of pesos could come in handy.
I was leading the charge as usual, a gaggle of minions behind me fanning out. I wasn’t going to take a cut of their findings of course, but made sure I gave myself the best spot.
Then this yell went up, from the side. Then more. I tried to ignore it, I had a task to do after all, but I still had to surface for air. And what did I find? A bunch of headless chickens. Kids screaming and floundering to get out the water, parents at the side calling out names and grabbing kids. You’d think the water’d turned to acid. It was ridiculous. I was the only calm person in the entire pool area out of hundreds of people, can you believe that? Just a kid and the only one with any sense. Anyway, he took me a moment to spot the acid as it were, people huddled around the central island of the pool not too far from me, other guys streaming in from the walkway. I tried to get a look you know, see if I could help? But I got pushed away.

Weirdly that wasn’t the most challenging task and I wrote more for that than I did in the free writes (380)?!?! the flowery one was the hardest for me I guess because again, I’m defaulting to telling instead of showing which is a problem. ::sigh::
Np, thank YOU! happy to follow!
