[Dragon's muse]

Welcome to the Block!

For your first assignment, i would like you to craft a scene/story/chapter involving the following elements.


A rattan cane cleverly disguised as an umbrella
A Tiffany Lampshade
An old manor house with secret passageways and a legend of ghosts

Happy writing,

Um. . . holy cannoli.

Ok.

Gosh Dm You're frightening; in such a sweet and pleasant way.

[Dragon's muse]

A sweet, demure, little subbie like me? Frightening?
*Sigh* i think my evil twin is getting me in trouble again?
i have to prepare these students for Level IV. i would be remiss in my duties if i were too easy. Then you and the estimable Mr. Dean would be a terrible shock.

I knew it was a form of punishment!

I knew it was a form of punishment!

No, no, no! Not punishment -- a challenge, an opportunity to shine.

And besides after writing in only dialogue, anything else will be easy.

I still wonder where you got that dialogue idea. I wonder if it was because of my story. But a story in dialogue is really an easy thing, because you can get away with more.

Actually i have used that for years with my real time students. Sometimes i give them specific characters to use. Bizzare sets of characters (one of the more memorable ones was a dialogue between Scarlett O'Hara and Darkwing Duck)
