Short Story #2
The Girl I Once Knew
Reflection:
I thoroughly enjoyed workshop two. Walking away from class, I know that I will need to work on developing more about my side characters, including the narrator’s kids, potential spouse, and parents. The primary feedback I got was that I needed to develop my characters way more and add more flashback moments. I also felt like a lot of people were looking for Paige’s life to have a very definable turning point. I had purposely avoided that when writing the story because not all situations of that nature have a turning point. That being said, enough people mentioned it that I think it’s worth considering. Overall, I feel as though I got a lot of good feedback and helpful comments from the class.
