The most fun piece of writing I can recall doing was a piece I called Paintball Preposition. In seventh grade, we had to write a poem using prepositions(not really a poem, just sentences lined on top of eachother that each started out with a preposition). It was fun to do because I had a great time remembering my first time playing paintball ever. The way it worked was this. I got a piece of poster paper, and I drew a scene I remembered from playing paintball with a bunch of other people. I enjoyed drawing it, because I like making art and it was fun drawing paintballs flying everywhere and people getting sprayed or splattered with green paint. Anyways, we got this piece of poster paper, drew a scene of what we were writing about, then typed a "prepositonal poem." Every sentence started with a prepositional phrase and then was seperated by a comma. So one line went "Through the woods, we crept." The "through the woods" part being the prepositional phrase and the "we crept" being the action after it. It confused me a lot writing good phrases because I had ideas in my head I could have used but I could have only expressed them in free writing. But it all turned out good, I had a great time making and an even better time when I found out I got an A+ on it for my artwork and going over the minimum of 15 phrases (or stanzas). I can say that this poem was my most favorite piece of writing I've done in my English career.
