Personal Recollection #3 - Ghastly Writing
Let’s talk about something really disgusting. Over the top gross. I want to talk about snot, the green sticky stuff we are normally too polite to mention. For each of the six points below, I want you to write a response.
Let’s Imagine . . .
1. You have just put your hand on a huge glob of someone else’s snot – how does it feel?
2. You have a nasty cold – what colour is your snot? Use a simile to compare it to something else. E.g. My snot looked like the brilliant yellow yolk of a Cadbury Crème Egg. It didn’t taste like it though!!
3. Imagine you have just swallowed a big globule of snot, eeew! What does it taste like? E.g. My snot tastes like salty fried eggs.
4. How do you sneeze? Use a metaphor in your description. E.g. My nose exploded and snot shot everywhere!
5. Imagine you are a rich dainty old woman. How would you sneeze?
Your turn!!!
Using your last memory, you are going to create a ghastly short story. I say create because you will use your memory as a base, but then change and invent and add blood, guts, gore and anything gross that you can think of! Make it scary, ghastly, gross, disgusting, and putrid!!!!
