My experience with short story writing has been fairly easy. I already had ideas for short stories but never saw the sense of actually getting said ideas out on paper. Now that it is homework I can let my imagination roam. I like to think of myself having a filing cabinet in my brain full of ideas for any occasion. Fiction writing is a lot easier than memoir writing because fictional writing can be extremely exaggerated and even made up. Memoir writing is about you, and sometimes I just find certain experiences in my life to be boring. I like fictional writing better because there is much more that can be covered than memoir writing will ever allow.
