Week 8

This past week in class we've read and talked even more about Flash Fiction. We used the terms we learned last week to analyze stories. Then in groups we used these terms to analyze stories, but we had only one element to observe in the story. Then we had to imitate the story by writing one of our own in the same style.

Lately I've been writing random poems and working on half written short stories. So far they aren't anything special, just in their editing stage, chicken scratch and colored pens marked all over their pages. Hopefully I'll be able to fully re-write them and make them better very soon.

I really don't know what to write about in this section. I feel like I've written about the same topics twice now. lol. I've noticed, though, that when I listen to music while I write it really seems to inspire the story or poem. I never really thought about it before, it just came to me recently. Sometimes when a certain song comes on I get completely distracted or a whole story appears in those 3 minutes. It's strange what music, art, and nature can do to writing and inspiration in general.
