We begin our genre-writing project in February 2015 by writing a story of 250-400 words that deals in some way with the theme of LOVE.
It's hard to imagine any book ever published that did not have some sort of love component in it. Love is everywhere, whether it be the traditional human coupling, friendship, love of country or family or pet. The list goes on and on. Go ahead - get your creative juices flowing.
The assignment roster on the Plotters Ink flyer specifies your choice of "romance", "love story", or "erotica", but you are free to choose whatever aspect of love you wish. No holds barred!
Keep in mind that our goal is to constantly improve our writing skills. To that end, please incorporate as many of our previously practiced techniques as you can, that are appropriate to your story:
- Choose an appropriate TITLE - every story needs one!
- Develop a CHARACTER
- Set the SCENE
- Introduce an element of CONFLICT
- Include some DIALOGUE
See you on February 12th, 2 PM at the library. Please bring several copies of your story so we can read along with you. If you wish to publish on the Plotters Ink Blog, you can email stories anytime.
Above all, have fun with your writing!
