ENC 1101-B3 & B4: Writing for Discovery
Process Memo For Eerie Street
Written by p4b10 on November 13, 2003 - 12:30
I chose my topic by doing what we practiced in class. Choosing a situation then adding a problem to it. The first thing that came to my head was two students walking home from high school. At first I was going to make them get hit by a car or something but I didn’t want to write about that. The next idea was making them fall into a fake world where there houses became illusions and they got stuck in that world. As I started writing it the story kind of took a twist and they just ended up walking down a never ending road.


I could probably provide more detail about the actual street part of my story, but the way I wrote it spends a lot of time showing how they got into the situation. I would have elaborated more on the road but I already had about 740 words and intended on just ending the story since it is only a draft. I will see how to re work it later on. I am not sure if I properly used character dialogue either. I was not quite sure when you have to start a new line with the change of speakers. There are probably a few things I could work on in this story. I will see when we get our revision assignment.

"would have elaborated more on the road." Sounds good. But when you think about expanding, consider where else you might want to have the reader pay more attention to add to the suspense of the piece. That could help as well.

"I was not quite sure when you have to start a new line with the change of speakers." Yes.
