creative writing can be ANYTHING right?

i was thinking back to my prelim creative and i got 5 out of 20. average was 7 in the year so LOL hhahah
we had to choose a topic of our creative and i chose emotional journey and wrote some crap about huge titans (yes SNK :3) and the teacher was telling us that it had to be something realistic? not like ufo crashing into the land or anything unrealistic

Oh gosh I feel :bomb:

Our first English assessment last term was creative and I got 7/10, which was below average and uhhh I just hate creative so much >_<
I think its great that you wrote about huge titans, that's original at least! (Yesss SNK ftw xD) They tell us not to write about high school/love/teenagers etc, but then they also tell us to write about something that we know about... gosh its so hard xD

I know right, I don't know what they can even expect :spzz:
Damn, I've never heard of anyone writing about grandparents hahahahah xD

Our fate is sealed, and there is no escape. I think I've dropped about 50 ranks from that first assessment :lol:

Actually, for some reason the markers hate fantasy themes and want you to make your story to a decent amount, realistic.

For my creative I just wrote about a girl who hated luxury life. Hey, the discovery could be anything.

Also, wrong section of the forum to post this.

I wrote about some person finding out that they were betrayed, but then the marker was like 'Where's the discovery?' :blink2:

That doesn't sound like a strong discovery.

A good discovery in a creative will utilise at least THREE elements of the rubric, on top of being clear.

For my discovery creative I based it off finding a new life to live, however instead of making it immediately transformative I slowly built it up so that it was partially, however nonetheless quite carefully planned out. Essentially the persona gained a renewed perception of the world around her. Just to spice things bit, at the end many new ways of thought were stimulated about life as a direct consequence.

A tiny story:

I started rank 1 in English, because I killed a module B essay. Then I completely fucked up a module A speech coming last and got dropped to 28/58. Then it went 38 -> 30 -> 22.

Incidentally, the two things that boosted my ranks were discovery. Esp paper 1 of the trials. I struggled for ages to think up a plot but after some inspiration from a certain anime (rather than trying to put a bit added focus on it despite original storyline) I finally had a starting point. Once you have a starting point, you can picture a story out from there.

The rubric points are for you to include as you progress.
