For Wednesday, turn in 800 words of your fiction writing. Keep in mind that by the end of the semester (Friday, January 18), you'll need to turn in 2500 words of fiction writing (including these 800).
During the first class after break, on Friday, January 4, acclaimed novelist Dana Spiotta will visit our class. Read this 2016 profile of her before that class. (We will read it during Wednesday's class and come up with questions for her.) When we work out what she will do in class that day, I will post that information here.

Assignment for Friday, Dec. 7
Continue writing your first story, and share it with me. If you haven't sent me the conflict for that story, do so. Also, identify a writer you wish you could write like or a piece of fiction you wish you could have written. List (and share with me) three reasons you admire your choice.

Assignment for Wednesday, Dec. 5
Identify the conflict for the first story you are working on. Write it out in one sentence and share it with me. Keep in mind that you will need to turn in 800 words of fiction writing by the December break (Dec. 19), and 2500 words by the end of the semester, so you probably want to continue writing your story. If you haven't shared the beginning of your story with me, be sure to do so.
