Short story

When I first found out that we had to write a short story for our next blog assignment, I was honestly somewhat nervous. I have loved the reading that we've done in literature this year, and was skeptical about creating something as equally entertaining. As soon as I actually started writing, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. To use your imagination like in such a way; creating in depth characters and a story line is such a stress release. I quickly got carried away in developing my main character as I wrote my story. I have always wanted to sit down and write a fictional piece like this but have never done it. In high school I remember one of my teachers reading a short story that she had published. It was so interesting to see how she incorporated her personality into the story! It was fascinating to make up an entire lifetime of events for a single person, imagining everything that has happened to them to lead up to where they are today. I knew I wanted to try to write something inspiring, but that is all I really began with. As I started writing, the rest of the story started to slowly unfold. The more I continued to develop the plot and the the several characters, the more I began to get into the story. I felt as if I knew and could identify with my main character, Cassie. In a way I feel like I subconsciously put many of my  traits in her character.Creating your own short story definitely gives you a sense of control. You are able to choose your own characters, what they say and do, and how the story ends.   I am really glad that we had this assignment. It definitely challenged myself and made me realize how much I enjoyed writing fiction.
