My short story was workshopped first this class period which made me a little nervous! I was nervous because I hadn’t really liked the story as I was writing it because I didn’t think I was writing the way I should have to be able to get my point across. That misconception was blown out of the water because everyone seemed to have got the message I was going for! It also made me feel better since everyone said they did like it overall. I feel like it was way more of an emotional story than the previous story I wrote and that’s why I was so nervous about not getting the right point across. I wasn’t planning on considering this story for my apprentice book at all, but I think it will be a good contender when I fix it up a little bit! For the future of this story, I plan on making the disappointment/loneliness/abandonment feelings a lot stronger. Whether it be me keeping the story at the time it’s set, or I might go with Jesse’s suggestion on making this the backstory and reworking the story into the first semester the main character is without June. I’m leaning more toward the second option, but we’ll see what my brain thinks up in the next few days!
