The Alien
Skip the Workshop take me straight to the submissions This workshop is short but the potential is large in that it is to help you explore the English language for alternative words and set your imagination free. You are an alien and you have just arrived on planet Earth. You see seas, rivers, land masses, cars, buses, people, trees, buildings and anything else that you can think of, but you can't call them that, you must describe in a few words of each and everything you see. Story writers - write a story of no more than 2000 words about an alien or group of aliens landing on earth. Play writers - write a 10 minute play about two or three aliens landing on earth. Article writers - either write a report sent back to home base from an alien of what he/she/it has seen or write a newspaper article on the return from earth of a team of alien astronauts who have visited Earth. The article or report should be in the order of 1500 words. Poets - Describe our planet, or the nature of our planet - no more than 50 lines please.
Just remember words like car, human, dog, bus, car, plane, river, sea, water
and land are all banned.
