I must eat you all.
Watch as I fall while trying to
catch my screaming, running dinner.
--haiku inspired by zombies
"The Center of the Labyrinth" by Ben Read
I dream of the sunlight
warmth splashing like water against my face
There's no sunlight in my labyrinth.
--haiku inspired by the Minotaur
The first T.W.I.N.E. workshop is a success!
We wrote haiku and short stories from the perspective of gorgons, centaurs, werewolves, vampires, mermaids and other monsters. Then we engaged in the creative mayhem of the world-famous Paper Game.
Now, T.W.I.N.E. is delighted to post the first in a series of writing samples from today's activities. We're starting with Ben Read, who wrote a beautiful poem from the perspective of the Minotaur (see above). Ben does an amazing job with imagery in this poem, so that not only do we feel the sunlight hitting our faces, we also sincerely ache for this usually vilified monster's loneliness and longing. Great work, Ben!
Other TWINERs: keep checking back! T.W.I.N.E. will be posting one haiku or story a day for the next couple of weeks, so it won't be long before your name is up in bright lights on the marquee.

Welcome to TWINE's [Informative/Stunning/Self-Flattering] New Blog!
Hello Future TWINERS. If you're visiting this blog, it's likely because you are an emphatic teenage ink-slinger living somewhere in the Inland Empire. The purpose of this blog will be threefold: to inform you of upcoming workshops; to showcase the writing produced during said workshops; and to share local and national opportunities for publishing your work individually.
Just imagine: one day your very own writing might appear right here for all to peruse and admire -- only, of course, if you participate in one of TWINE's workshops.
I can hear you cracking your knuckles and sharpening your pencils. When, you ask, are these wondrous workshops taking place?
Excellent question! Please note the handy dandy schedule to my upper right. Okay, to your right. My left. Whatever.
Hope to see you at the Spokane Valley Library, or the Moran Prairie Library, or both! And we'll be meeting monthly after these dates, so keep revisiting the blog for more information.
