Bridgit,
I sent you the story into your hotmail. I, too, have issues with
my braille-note. When I send too much text in an e-mail, only a
certain amount will come through, which means that if I wanted to
send the whole story I would have to divide it into 2 or more
separate e-mails.
In answer to your questions:
1. No, we don't actually have to write about romantic love.
However, our assignment is that we have to write a collection.
Besides this piece I already have 1 other short story and 1 poem
and have to write several others. That being said, I latch on to
any ideas, LOL. I find it hard to think of the various topics to
write about, and in the next 9 days I have to think of several
other characters, plots, etc. I may write a few more poems but I
really have just started getting into poetry.
2. As far as why the female perspective... Originally, I wanted
to just keep the story neutral. But I realifor that it was
easier to stick to one character. And in much of what I've read,
it's usually the male who rejects the female without warning; the
woman thinks the relationship is wonderful. That's what I was
trying to show. It is still a third-person piece, it just has
more of the girl, Gisela's thoughts.
It's a fun elective class... just seems like we have a project
to complete all the time... grin

Hi all,
I am writing a story for class about love. I would really like
suggesttions on it.
I have never been in a relationship, so don't know how good my
descriptions are. Also I really don't like my ending-so I'd
really like some suggesttions.
Also note that although this is a third-person narrative, this is
largely written using the girl's thoughts.
I have to turn it in in 10 days, so there's time.
Thanks.
Vejas
