Fun new apps to download for FREE!

I have just discovered some fun apps for budding writers and poets or for people who just love listening to quality poetry...

The Poetry App - is only available through I-tunes but is well worth it.  If you want to hear Voldemort read TS Elliot's 'The Wasteland' this is for you.  It will help in understanding the poem.  Y13's who have covered The Hollow Men, The Wasteland etc will find this app beneficial.






Wattpad - this app is like a creative writing course for FREE.  Read other people's work and create your own.  An interesting way to keep writing and find new writing buddies...





Writing prompts - this will give you a quick random prompt to keep the creativity going.  It is also possible to purchase more when things get really stuck...

Writing exercises - this was used effectively during last weeks creative writing session.  By giving random first lines, subjects, characters, and plot lines - writing exercises makes the creative flow fun and easy.  The results we got from the random first line were varied and diverse.  Read them for yourself on www.hibslibrary.weebly.com and go to the creative writing page.


I hope you download these and try them out.  If you do or if you have others you can recommend please let me know...:)
