This week I had to work on my fiction packet for class. I chose to do my one story that I have been working on and attempting to develop for a few weeks now. The hardest part about writing fiction for me is coming up with details, and visual details especially, that help bring out more action and more entertainment for the reader. So one thing I will continue working on while writing is my use of detail and how to make it better.
This week we also were supposed to read some of the Maps to Anywhere book by Bernard Cooper. One story I enjoyed was Atlantis. The title itself makes you think its going to be about the wonderful lost city of Atlantis, but it is not. It is about a barber shop and the mysterious of the barber pole and the experience of being at the barbers. What I enjoyed about this story was the incredible detail put into describing everything. The hair, the wind, and even the barber pole itself were all incredibly detailed and gave much more action and attention to the things he described.
good responses here the past few weeks... remember to write about the readings every week...
