The next Island Writers meeting is on Tuesday 5 February, so we have just a few more days to come up with our latest assignment: A view from a window.
It could be a story or poem based on something exciting, tragic, unusual or hilarious seen from inside a window. Was it seen by chance, or an expected event? Did the person inside realise what they were seeing, or were they mistaken?
The window doesn’t need to be part of a house – your piece could be a description of stunning scenery from a hotel room on holiday, an imagined view from a castle or historic building, or a view whilst travelling, from the window of a car, train or aeroplane.
Or perhaps the view itself isn’t the important part – maybe your writing will focus on the feelings of someone inside the window who wants to be outside. It could be a tedious school classroom, a prison cell, a workplace or a hospital. How would life be different if they could get out there?
Anyway… now’s your chance. The window of opportunity closes soon!
