**I wanted this one to be different than a topic we'd create a class story about. It should be one that could be developed into a longer story.
Recap: We began by presenting a short story challenge to the class. You're first fiction writing assignment will be due this Thursday (peer edit), with the final copy being handed in Friday. We began by creating different conflicts that could be turned into a short story. Everyone submitted his or her idea to the box, and then we walked around to draw conflicts at random. This will be a conflict within your story!
Please remember that it does not have to be the main conflict. If you got a topic you don't normally enjoy writing about, embrace the challenge! Just be sure to incorporate the idea somehow.
We then read the short story, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty." This is a clever story about a man who daydreams quite vividly. I also wanted you to see how some wild ideas could be incorporated into the story.
Nice work today! Have a nice night!
