Process memo
Written by rah03c on November 13, 2003 - 14:06
When writing this draft I was trying to tell the reader about a story in my life that changed who I was and that helped develop me as a man. I thought a while about Maybe making up some kind of story about a space cadet or something cool like that. Then I thought you know writing a story about some make believe character would be very challenging as far as keeping the reader interested. I figured the next best thing to do is tell a story about me and what I went through. I thought my classmates would rather read that than some make believe story about a boy who loses his dog.
In the story I try to be a accurate with details as possible, making sure all my time frames are write and that what I was feeling are my exact emotions. My biggest was just to capture a précis account of what went on in those few hours.
I also used the The Longman Writer’s Companion to help me out with using the proper pronouns in my sentences to put this story in the third person point of view. The Longman’s really helped a ton, and I probably wouldn’t have been able to write the paper without it.

Fiction?

The idea for the assignment was to write a piece of fiction, a short story, not a personal narrative. When revising, use your 1st draft, change the story enough so that it is fiction. But don't write something that is entirely brand new unrelated to this piece. If you are not sure what I mean, you should contact me.
