Writing 12, Wed. Nov. 24

The Saanich News Winners were announced today. If you won, please email me a good copy asap.

We worked in groups reading from our literary library books looking for key aspects of the craft: how to writers get characters to move through time? How is fiction similar to poetry?
We took notes. Carolyn presented writer James Marshall and it was wonderful. Get the notes tomorrow. We talked about how key it is not to have a character randomly offering a reader BACK STORY. MAKE SURE YOU understand this concept.

We have extended the due date for this week's pages to Friday. I need two complete pages of your story--painstakingly edited, following the criteria, developing your story. It might be a scene and a half, two scenes, whatever you need to fulfill the length requirement.

Remember John Gould Friday. His response will be due Monday.
