Project #9: POV
Deadline: To be announced
Length: 3000 words ± 5%
Object: Write two separate versions of the same story, one in first
person and one in third. Then refine the story with your preferred
point of view. Story choices:
- Write
about an engagement party where something goes wrong or
characters are otherwise in conflict
- "a mirror," "a closet," "a child" - Use these nouns, perhaps
coupled with a powerful adjective or two, to form a story
- "Suddenly, the window slammed shut." Write a story that uses this
sentence.
- Write a story about the first memory that comes to mind when you
think of the word 'surgery.'
Goal of the project: Practicing writing from different points of view and
working on story structure and character development.
