Goodbye poetry. For now. You are free to continue writing poetry. You are free to continue revising and working on your poetry. But let us take our focus to another genre. Welcome Fiction!
Writing exercise in 5 minutes. Write a 100 word story. Your story should be exactly 100 words--not 99 or 102, but 100. Write quickly and in the next five minutes tell a story to your reader.
To start off we are picking up our first collection of short stories: The Snows of Kilamanjaro & Other Stories by Ernest Hemingway. When we get back upstairs, there's a bit of work you need to do before we read a few of these collected stories.
For one, take a few minutes to research Ernest Hemingway. Learn a little bit about him. Then we'll talk.
Then read this advice:
Stories are divided into scenes. One scene written after another creates a sequence of events (plot). The best scenes connect, one causing action to further complicate or move the story along.
