Hemingway - Part II

Draft Two: Flashback

1. After you complete the basic story (draft #1). Write a second draft including the following:

a. Find moments in the story for your character to think about his/her past. Select these moments and for each one, develop the inner dialogue of your protagonist.

b. This “flashback” should reveal personal opinions, reflect on the situation, and/or connect ideas and people with your character’s past. Your character’s past should be detailed with much verisimilitude.

c. You may cover years or many days or a great length of time for your flashbacks. You may also change scenery or setting.

2. Separate your flashbacks by italicizing them or separating them with white space.

Complete your draft #2 today in the lab.

HOMEWORK: Please read "In Another Country", "The Killers", & "A Way You'll Never Be"
