Short Fiction

Here are short story assignments I wrote for my various Creative Writing classes at college.

Genre Fiction Writing

In Genre Fiction Writing, we read short stories and then applied what we learned in short writing assignments (seen below).  We also wrote two ten-page stories, which were workshopped throughout the semester, and then chose one of these to revise for our final project.  As the name of the class suggest, we focused on science fiction, fantasy and horror stories.

Because I love writing, editing, and science fiction/fantasy, this course was one of my favorites.

The Assignments:

• Second Person Present Tense (February 3)
• Character Sketch: Lynda Daymor (February 17)
• Larry Cotter and the Magician's Rabbit (Parody) (March 3)
• 3-Page Sentence (April 13)
• Action Scene (April 20)

The Stories:

• "Pill" Draft 1
• "Anaphael" Draft 1
• Nameless, Faceless ("Pill", submitted final)

Other Writing

"Hell Found Me"

This is a short story I wrote in response to a challenge I received via email.
