creative writing.

so, yesterday in my journalism class we had to do a little bit of creative, feature writing. we were to write just the intro to a feature story about our morning commute that day. i had a lot of fun writing it, and here is what mine turned out like. remember, it's just the first few paragraphs of what a full story (which we don't finish for class) would look like.

As the first sunrays began to peak over the mountains, she was already 30 minutes into her typical Monday morning commute and still had almost 45 more to go. Just as she started to pull out her large, red sunglasses from her bag in the passenger seat, she noticed one raindrop hit her windshield. Soon, three more dropped on the glass with perfect synchronization.
Within minutes, rain was pouring down on her little purple Chevy Cobalt. She put the sunglasses back in her bag; it didn’t look like she was going to need them this morning.
The rain fell as if a four year old were playing with the faucet in the kitchen: on full blast, quickly shut off, small sprinkles, off, on. These unpredictable droplets made her windshield wipers beg for mercy as she made them follow the rhythm that the rain was creating.


what do you like to write about? do you enjoy creative writing? =)
