Once upon a time, in a land of chocolate and Tabasco…
Well, I can dream, can’t I? If I am writing a short story, then by gosh I will create my own magical–and with Tabasco, wonderful–world! That is the power of being the author! The world you write about in your story is created completely by your imagination! What power!Your short story will be yours as well! Of course, the goal is to share it with your reader, otherwise the world doesn’t get to visit the amusement park of your incredible imagination! You wouldn’t do that to your readers now, would you?
Over the next couple of weeks, you will begin putting the pieces of your very own short story together. Your universe will slowly form, until, Wham! a short story is born! You will be asking repeatedly to read yours to the class! To share your amazing ideas and twists and turns of your story. To have readers say, “Wow! That’s a really good story. How did you ever come up with that?” You’ll smile, thank that person, and say, “I don’t know, it just sort of grew out of my head!”
So, fasten your seat belt! Get ready to free your imagination! Prepare to amaze yourself and others!
Prepare to be proud.
