How are you feeling, these days? Back on your feet?

Chris: not in my experience, no. I’ve read plenty and written several and, while the ones I’ve penned tend to roam the darker shades of gray, most I’ve read tend to be significantly lighter in tone.

Char: be my guest. I wouldn’t mind looking over your writing either, though one condition applies: tell me more about the writing you’re expected to do for this in-class essay. I mean, what’s the expected outcome? Assuming you let me know, I’d happily look over your work and I may able to get you some information to assist you. Just today I taught a lesson on style analysis (specifically, how to analyze a selection’s diction, figurative language and syntax); to ease student understanding, I put together a very detailed handout, complete with (some) examples.

Call it motivational categorization.

Other (short) fictions of mine are interspersed throughout the non-fictions of this very blog. As Chris points out, I should have a fiction category, but I feel I should write more before bothering.

You should have a ‘fiction’ category for this sort of thing.
