Writing - Stu Duval’s writers workshop



On Thursday the 4th of July, I went to the multi talented Stu Duval’s writers workshop. Stu Duval is so talented. He can draw cartoons, draw amazing pictures with pastels and my favorite quality about him, he can write awesome stories. Stu Duval’s workshop is like a small meeting, with three selected students from classes in the school. Stu Duval taught us how to stock our brain with ideas, just like you would stock a pantry with food. He told us the special key to writing the “why” key. Just look around the room and find an object. For example a chess game. Ask yourself why, why is there are chess game there. Maybe a magic wizard waved his wand and sent it there. Then ask again, why , why did the wizard send it there and so on until you're done. Voila, you have a fabulous story!!!! Next minute you could be writing a story about explosions and world war one, and to think, it all started with a chess game. Stu Duval is my hero.
