Day 4 and Day 5

Day 4 was July 4! What?! Yes, I took that day off.

Day 5 Thinking about what makes a short story. Writer Ken Kesey said, "What someone wants and is going though to get it."

Here is a writing prompt that I ran across today, try it out, I thought it was an interesting one and may use it in my fiction class this fall. From, Story Matters, (p269)

"...invent the most difficult, painful scene you can imagine. Write it using simple language. Don't flinch."
