The Beginning

This week your assignment is to post the beginning of something you've been working on.

This could be the exposition of your short story, the beginning of your fairy tale, or it could be something else entirely (perhaps something you started on 750words.com)

The second post is about anything your heart desires. Maybe you've read something interesting, seen a story on the news that moves you and is worth writing about.

Turn in both posts here.

The Past

It's been awhile, hasn't it?

Time to stretch those fingers and get back to blogging!

This week you are responsible for writing two posts.

One post should be about something in your past. This could be a general reflection, a time you learned something, a strong memory that you have etc.

Your second post is about whatever you want (perhaps you want to tell us some of your fairy tale retelling ideas?)

Turn in both of your posts HERE.

Character

This week your assignment is to post about what you're writing--specifically, your characters. Pick ONE of your characters (protagonist, antagonist, or a supporting character) and answer the questions found here about them.

Essentially, you are creating a profile for one of your characters. Include a picture or two to help your readers (and you, as a writer) get a really good grasp on who you're writing about.

POST TWO
Write a short scene where you reveal some important part of your character through dialogue or point of view.

ALSO write ONE post about whatever your heart desires.

Class,
We're getting close to the end--it's the last term! However, that does not mean it's ok to slack off. I have noticed your posts getting shorter and shorter, and less interesting. You have an entire week to write these responses--make sure they are GOOD.

Also, if you have not submitted your assignment via the google form by the deadline, you assignment will be considered LATE. So make sure you do it!

Also remember that we are now writing two posts a week. One on the topic I give you, one on whatever your heart desires.

Dreams

Our subconscious is a powerful tool not only for introspection, but is also a mine of good ideas for stories.

This week the topic is dreams.

Tell me about yours. Tell me what they mean. Tell me what they make you think about.
