I had another good writing class this evening. We did an interesting exercise in which we answered a series of questions about the story that we are writing. The purpose was to help us think through the larger picture of the story of the book we are writing.
This was really good for me because I had not thought this far ahead yet about my story. I still don't know a lot of details about my story but I feel like tonight helped me to take another big step forward.
We also did another exercise. Our instructor told us to write the very last paragraph of our novel. When I heard her instructions, I went into a complete panic. I have no idea how my novel (if I even end up writing a novel) will end. She told us that this was a way to get us thinking. She also said that as we write the ending may change. I wrote my last paragraph. I don't know if this really will be my last paragraph, but it was a challenging and fun exercise.
I continue to enjoy this class. It brings great joy to my life. I am really getting to know my classmates better and am grateful for their presence in the class. I also am thankful for the instructor. She challenges me and is helping me to grow as a writer.
Thanks for being a part of my journey!
