Writers,
As you spend the next couple of days thinking about, revising, and maybe even “re-envisioning” your stories, remember the techniques we discussed in today’s class. You might outline your story, cut a paragraph, add character development, reconsider the ending, and or look more closely at language. A couple of the resources used in class are in this post: On Revising and Developing Your Fiction
- If you need to review, the Fiction Assignment is posted here: Fiction Assignment This post includes page length requirements, formatting, and other information. Due dates:
- Thursday, April 7 and Tuesday, April 12: in-class peer review. Bring a full draft to class of your story or stories. Printing them out for the workshop is preferred. (Remember you can print in the library or the computer labs.) If you bring your stories on a device, it should be bigger than a phone screen and you should be comfortable with other students handling it. Reminder: This peer review workshop will be included as part of the fiction assignment grade in the course.
- Thursday, April 14: the Fiction Assignment is due on Blackboard by the end of the day.
Session 18 Discussion Board: Title and First Line
As was discussed in class, here you are committing to your story or one of them if you are writing a series of flash fiction.
OpenLab discussion board instructions: write the title and first line of your submission for our class on Thursday. You can use the same first line you read in today’s class but remember to add the title of the story on the discussion board. Discussion board posts are due before 2 pm on Thursday, April 7. The OpenLab discussion board is on the course profile page and liked HERE.
Write on,
