🦋 The awesomeness we do in my Creative Writing Club 🦋

Repetitions might not be a good idea in some kinds of writing, but they are definitely a great idea in creative writing.

So, today, after we studied some stylistic devices based on repetitions, I asked the participants to put them to good use while writing an answer to this prompt: Write an ad for an item that you have to sell but deep down don’t want to part with.

Just look at some of the answers:

🦋 By Svitlana Demchenko:
The dress is in a perfect condition - looks just the way it did on the day of my wedding. It has a long train and the bodice is decorated with expensive lace and pearls, so you can be sure that you'll turn all the heads - like I did on the day of my wedding. I hope it will bring you good luck and happiness in your marriage - like I hoped on the day of my wedding.

🦋 By Taisiya Voloshina:
An ikea shark for sale. A perfect toy for your children - a bit scary but not very much. You can take it with you on holiday - a bit cumbersome but manageable. It can serve as a pillow - a bit too high but who needs to sleep much these days anyway?

🦋 By Anna Skopina:
What a great box of colored pencils it is! It is great indeed - 120 colors, just imagine! When you draw with them, it’s like having a whole rainbow at your fingertips. When you draw with them, there are no limits to your choices. When you draw with them, it’s a pure delight. I have to part with them now, but you can have them!

🦋 By Eugenia:
To have or not have? Asks any parent when their child comes with a request for a kitty. Kitties for sale. And what nice kitties we have! They will make your eyes water with love for them (and if you are unlucky with allergic tears as well). They make you happy but not too happy. Willing to be active but not too active. Ask for attention but not too much. A perfect pet!

Pure awesomeness, isn't it? 🩷

📝 So your turn to write something awesome in the comments:
1. If you are well-versed in stylistic devices, write the ones you've spotted (and I mean the fancy names).
2. If your creative juices are flowing, write your answer to the prompt!
