beccaelizabethOn the plus side, I have once again produced a thousand word story for a week's homework. Sort of two of them, but the first time was the wrong thousand words so I went back and redid most of them. And next if I'm going to write the moment of epiphany and choice I intended to, I need yet a third story. Also I need a completely different story if I want to do like the homework actually asked us, and define a character by their setting. I had a room I've been getting to know, so I thought I'd be talking about three characters from an outsider point of view, but it takes too many words. Of course it's not the homework that has a word limit. I can take all the words I want. I just need to learn how to write short. A thousand words is nothing.
On the minus side, it is past five in the morning. On a Monday, when I have cleaner at lunch time. By Wednesday I have to be getting up for college at six. I don't know how I'll be doing that, just that I need to. *facepalm*
To write short I need to write simple. I knew that, but none of my ideas actually stay that way. So to write one thousand words I need to write about one character doing one thing.
All the stories in the reader are boring. They're about people who live stupid boring tiny lives, get a glimpse of something even a tiny bit bigger, and elect to stay in their rooms instead. Bugger that.
I shall write about a stupid small tiny room and someone wildly glad to get the chance to get out forever.
... on a meta level they are escaping the short story for a long running television series, but I don't need to mention that to the teacher.
