Week Nine: Setting and Scene

Note: draft of your story due on Fri 3/24 for workshopping; due to me on Thurs 3/30

Mon 3/13: L--On the discussion site on Canvas, please post the following:

• • Using the techniques you analyzed from your place passage and from Writing Fiction, write your own setting passage

    • You might describe a made-up setting that you plan to use in your upcoming story

    • You might describe another, totally funky setting you have no idea what to do with yet

    • You might describe a room in your house or another place you're very familiar with

    • Word count: 350-400 words

  • Write 500-550 more words on anything you wish (you can also continue the setting exercise above if you so desire). I'd encourage you to start brainstorming your next story!

  • Total: 900 words.

Weds 3/15: L--Read Writing Fiction, "Long Ago: Fictional Time," pp. 193-207.
