Writing Exercise

[Ra-Ra (Laura), Deputy--Howdy, Pardner!]

For those of you who enjoy writing, like I do! Here are the rules:
1. It has to be at least three four-sentence paragraphs long (that's a total of 12 sentences).
2. You can't change the quote.
3. Be creative!

Here's how it works: I put up a quote in this topic, and you all write a short story that uses that quote EXACTLY. Just post it in a reply. You can review and discuss other's work here, but don't get off topic. Use constructive criticism; do not be rude or cruel. Be positive and productive in the comments you make.

Also, if someone is critical of your work, don't throw a hissy fit unless it is just outright rudeness. Take the comments to heart and really try to improve your writing because, unless you are a published author, I doubt you are perfect (I, for one, am far from it). I will be monitoring the comments and I will let you know if it gets out of hand.

Alright, so are you ready? Great! The first quote is....*drumroll*:

"Why? Because they're different. And pretty soon, you will be different too."

This is open to lots of interpretations. I'm excited to see what you come up with! :) Have fun.

Oh! And keep in mind, this doesn't have to be a quote someone states in quotation marks. The story could be in first-person point of view, and just be integrated into the story. :)

I will later.

You love them, although you don't quite know why. It scares me, that I'm going to lose you someday. They're so much better than I am. Me, I'm only a mediocre girl that's somehow been your best friend for so long now.

I've been afraid of it for a while now. You can't possibly be so loyal to little old me. I'm average, I'm alright with that, but you aren't, not really. You want more bright, exciting, new friends.

"Why are you so sure about this?" you ask, tilting your head to the side a little bit. That always makes me smile, even now. You look like a puppy. No, not a puppy, that's too cliche - a bird, perhaps? Yes, a bird, a chickadee or some other small songbird.

It's a sad smile now, though. I think you can tell. Songbirds leave my mind and I answer quietly. "Why? Because they're different. And pretty soon, you will be different too."

Confusing much? Me sorry =[ It's about a girl, who's afraid of her best friend leaving her for some other people that aren't as dull as her. I've had a lot of good friends leave, became strange, and outright betray me, so I'm always trying to be the perfect friend. It's exhausting.

Melody: I really like it! (Not the whole friends leaving thing, that sucks...I'm sorry about that.) This is very well written. It gives just enough information, without being too much. The confusion makes you dig deeper into each statement. I truly enjoyed that! :( Darn, if it was only longer! :) I would really like to read more of what you write...I'm going to have to check out your folder and see if you have any writing there!

Laura... heheh, I get bored after writing more than like what I posted here *sweatdrop* Although I do have other stuff I've written...
