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
