Inspiring writers

Recently we watched this video by Dai Henwwood sharing his experience of writing and coming up with a story starter to inspire others.  Well, we love really cool story starters too, so we had a go at coming up with our own inspirations for other writers out there.

Alex and Kayla
Lizzie

Delroy, Neco and Sophie

Nina and Mariah
Hollie and Lucy  (black screen but clear audio)

If any of these inspire you to write, please share your stories.  We'd love to hear them.

Gulf of Guinea Part 1. Hull breach

Gulf of Guinea Part 1. Hull breach

It was another day the Guinea Gulf.  We had just finished a raid on the British alcohol transfer ship.  We gained $1,000 of rum and it was going to be a fine night for me and my lads. We drank for hours on end until we were all drunk that some of the lads fell off my ship THE SPARROW.   I said to my lads “Pull ‘em out with the fishin’ net!”

1 week later we had sold the rum for a profit $785. Later in the town of Nigeria a young boy came out of a crowd of people and told me “Captain Peter Mullet I heard a group of British Captains talk about hunting you for a bounty of $1,000 for you wanted dead or alive,” I replied “Thanks boy, here’s $50 for your help.”

I ran back to THE SPARROW and told the lads. “We’ve got to set sail, or we’ve got a fight on ours hands.” We packed up the supplies and set into the sea.

Once in the Gulf, but not past the border, I saw some British patrol boats guarding the border. I told the cannon crew to load up the cannon balls, the bola crews to load up the bolas and mortar crew to load up and aim at the British boats. I told the bola crew to shoot at the sails, cannon crew at the hull and the mortar crew to shoot at the steering wheel and top deck.

1 hour later, still in the battle, we destroyed 5 British boats but there were the same amount remaining.  Later, a member of the cannon crew yelled out to me “HULL BREACH!” I yelled back “Evacuate now, get out of there!”  We sailed as far away as we could until we hit a sea mine.  THE SPARROW was sent into the air, traveling at a speed of  70kmh and crashed into a deserted island.

Recount of Winter Sport

      Recount of winter sport.

Now the first part of this story is [what we/I do.] I do soccer for winter sport because it is my favourite sport. Before I came to this school I wasn’t a sporty person but now I am. Friday was the first time I have ever played a real game and I’m really proud of myself. Now overall it was one the funnest times I have ever had this year.

Now I am talking about my uniform and some other stuff. My uniform is a black and white uniform, the black is on the right shoulder and goes down on an angle and the rest is white. Now for the warm ups the white team was in sort of a line and we were kicking the the ball to each other then going to the back of the other line.

On the first half I played right wing defender and Maraea and Alex played defender with me. Now I reckon that I did pretty well for my first time playing and yes I did get hurt. A lot.

On the second half I played defender again and I did a lot better than on the first half. I did a lot more tackling than on the first half. I was very happy with myself.
