Flash Fiction

6-word stories:

It's a nice day, sir. (zzz...)

Creativity steers clear of the writing students.

Nanofiction (55-word stories):

Based on real events that happened the day they were written (yesterday).

The character Stanley in _A Streetcar Named Desire_. Not so inhuman?

Just a little follow-up to my previous post about the _Streetcar_ characters. (http://literatureeh.blogspot.com/2012/01/thoughts-on-characters-of-tennessee.html)

At the end of scene 11, right after Blanche has been taken away, this happens:

Stella: Blanche! Blanche! Blanche!

…
[… Eunice descends to Stella and places the child in her arms. … Stella accepts the child, sobbingly. … Stanley has gone out on the porch and stands at the foot of the steps looking at Stella.]

Creativity at SIS

I was asked by my Chinese teacher to give her some quotes about "creativity" for the Languages department in an Art department project called 'Creativity at SIS'.

So I just drew this up off the top of my head:

"To create is to bring something into existence where before there was nothing. Creativity raises us above mortality."

"Creativity is how we violate the laws of the universe. It is our greatest power."

"The first thing to exist was God. The second was creativity, so God could create the world."
- maybe this one isn't really suitable... but I included it anyway because it's cool. I'm not even religious...

Got a reply saying she wants quotes related to language, Chinese if possible.

I could only think, 'What... languages aren't creative...'

I gave her this: "Languages by themselves are not creative. Speaking and writing languages? Now that's creativity in action."
