First Page

On Friday we talked about openings and hooking your reader. The goal is to help you revise the opening of your story.

Here's your assignment:
Post the first page of your story on your blog. Your story can be a short story or a novel, as long as it's fiction. Remember the elements: Plot, Character, Conflict, Theme, Setting.

It's up to you how long your first page is. Feel free to end in the middle of a sentence. Just get your reader interested enough that she wants to move on to page two.

Also: read at least two writers' posts and leave a comment on their page. Your comment should include a prediction of what this story is about. (Think plot, character, conflict...and tone/genre. Is this a comedy, romance, fantasy, realistic fiction, what?)

Due Sunday, 9/13 @ midnight.
