Oddly enough, short story writing has been a challenge for me, probably the hardest task of the semester thus far. Having to fictionalize a story seems like such an easy task because you can literally change anything, but for me I think since it pushes the creativity box so much I tend to overthink what I want my story to be about. I take the small details and think about them drastically, questioning if the details make sense or not, or maybe even that my reader wouldn’t like what my story is about. I enjoy having the opportunity to think outside the box, but I can tell that it is definitely not my cup of tea. Overall though, the experience of getting to write short stories proved to me that I am capable of fictionalizing events that may or may not have happened in my life and that my readers do enjoy my writing as well.
