you shouldd have at least 3 prepared just in case.
It's funny you say that. We were told to write '3 original extracts' in the creative writing section of my English Extension trial paper. Yeah... we all failed that part.

you guys know you should have more than one creative writing piece prepared, don't you? theres a chance it might not even be a s/s or that the story you prepared doesnt fit the stimulus/question... you shouldd have at least 3 prepared just in case.
nah examiners are more interested in how u use language rather that how u relate it as the stimulus could be interpreted many different ways... and if its not a story then i have accepted that i am fucked and will be pullin stuff out of my ass :spin:

and mine is also untitled...im too fussy :eek:

My plan is to make the stimulus the motif of my story... it's worked alright so far. If the stimulus doesn't fit my story at all, then I'll just write my story as is and hope they go easy on me.

we will spontaneously combust :angry:
This is also an option.

The Sorrow of Predisposition
Makes my title sound like the epitomy of crap... "The Well".

to what extent must the stimulus be included? can we just have the odd reference to it?

Mine is called "Hero", first story i've ever titled cos I reckon giving a title is unnecessary and annoying unless one just jumps out at you.

i just came up with a title but my sister shot it down *sigh*, said it's too magazine-ish ("Out with the new, in with the old")

Lol

Sounds a bit cliche but could work well if you've got a good story for it :)

I plan on leaving a line at the start for my title, making up a story, and then adapting the last line of my story to become the title. Shows planning.
