Writing about Writing

To me there is nothing more thrilling and exciting then writing about un-used holiday creatures, sour-candy crystal waterfalls, and long sugary grass and tall liquorish trees. My imagination goes wild when I write about mythical things. So when my teacher told me to write a folk tale, I was thrilled. She wanted them to be silly and fun so that our buddies could enjoy them as well. My first thought was to write about an animal that everyone loves, but is also very unique. Well once you narrow it down enough, there can only be one certain creature left. Unicorns! The best creature to write about, they could be snobby know-it-alls who think they're all that; or even a mind-blowing heros, fighting off villains with their powerful horn. My ideas were soon put into words, and I was ready for action.

When I had finally finished my piece, I began reading over it; it was pretty amazing. I had combined the fun and exciting ways of Candy Land with the schemingly evil plans of the un-wanted holiday creatures towards the powderpuff ponies, which each hip was marked by their crystal tattoo. So how did unicorns get their horns? My folk tale could easily prove that. Well, with the un-wanted holiday creatures each having a "special" talent they were able to bring their evil plan into action. "The leprechauns began to melt down their gold coins into long beams that could stretch an entire roadway. The evil Easter bunnies began to sharpen their teeth, and Santa's old reindeers began to freeze the roadway. No longer would they live to be trampled in the paths of the ponies." When the plan had finally been put into action, the ponies weren't left with not just a mark, but an ice-cream cone, melted to the tops of their heads. Therefore, they were renamed Unicorns, "mostly because of the fact that the only one able to write was a leprechaun an his spelling has always been awful." 

 With this piece I was able to explore my imaginative side, and finally put some humor into my writing. I have always loved writing about bizarre creatures finding themselves odd predicaments. That explains why I chose this as my favorite writing piece.
