CWJ stands for Creative Writing Journal. Sometimes where I work, we have a Creative Writing Drill. Sometimes our writing cue is a thing like, "Best Vacation Ever." Other times, we bring out a flip chart that gives us a random setting, character, and plot.<br /><br />This time the cue was:<br /><b>Setting:</b> <span>A long time ago</span><br /><b>Character:</b><span><b> </b>a monkey (formerly firefly)</span><span></span><br /><b>Plot:</b><span> A character gets lost</span><br /><br />This one was written in one session, plus a little more. Probably. But not much. This one came together as I was writing it, so I didn't use much beyond the 30-ish minutes given to us.
