Mad Iguana

Oh, this packs a punch. The add-on sentences say so much, and the voice is great.

Wow, this is so rich @hilary. So much there, so many hints and glimpses and twinges of pain and longing and sadness. There’s a sort of yearning behind of these lines that breaks my heart a bit. Such powerful fragments.

Amazing piece, Raine. A wonderful example of writing a character through the eyes of another one. Very sad.

I wonder if he will end up getting away with the misbehaviour? Interesting piece.

Great contrast between the two letters, Bella. And yes – what is buried within – that’s the most interesting bit. Very clever.

An amazing piece of writing, Kaz. Very powerful. Strong imagery. Brilliant.

Oh, except the Dad drawing. That’s from a character in one of my stories.

I enjoyed doing this. I didn’t really think about the Burroway while I was writing – it was more a free-writing exercise. And it’s not in the voice of any character I’m already writing. Just came out of nowhere.

Liking this: All good characters are created round, but some are created rounder than others.

Hello @JaneShuff
VERY late to this, but I’m trying to do a bit of a catch up with class 2 before I get on to class 3. I LOVED meeting Dipsy in the initial passage and then reading your questionnaire about her. I agree about not needing to answer al the questions, but they are great prompts.
Anyway, thanks for posting.
