Rough drafts of the thesis were due today. Finals are going to be due no earlier than 23/24 April.
We began the next unit in which writers will be writing forms of very short fiction.
In class we analyzed "Micro Fiction" examples in order to deduce the rules of the format. Those rules are:
Is a story.
Exactly 55 words long.
Plus a title.
Has an ironic or surprising twist.
Includes dialogue.
It was noted that Micro-Fiction is almost entirely "scene" as opposed to summary.
Writers are to bring a complete rough draft of one or more Micro Fiction pieces to the next class.
