Creative Writing Prompt #5: Tone
#5 of Creative Writing
This creative writing prompt was to prepare us for our one minute scenes. It was to get us to understand the concept of tone and creating images to depict certain feelings. We were given 10 minutes to write about either anger or peace. Obviously, I chose anger.
