Nov. 6 Writing Assignment

Aim to write two double-spaced pages, using one of the following prompts.  As always please adapt the assignment to fit your needs (adjusting the length, combining prompts. etc.)  You can email the pieces to me ahead of time if desired and I will make copies.

It’s Over. . Write about the moment you knew something was over.

An Embarrassing Moment.  See if you can take a humiliating incident and write it with humor.  See if you can structure a comic build of expectation in one direction followed by comic reverse

Past Prompts

Transition.  Fall is the season of change.  Write about a significant transition in your life.

Companion vignette.  Write a story that complements an earlier vignette you have written.  Examples: a vignette with a similar theme, a vignette described through the eyes of second person, or a vignette from the same period of time or place.  The possibilities are endless.  This could be a building block for your fall project.

Ending first.  Write backwards.  First write the ending to a story you know well..  Then fill in the early details.  Try for 750 words.
