Fantasy Project - Beginning Your Draft

Today, write.

Write. Write your fantasy story.

Start by describing your setting. Then introduce your character in his/her normal duties. Then introduce the inciting incident. After you introduce your inciting incident that draws your protagonist into the story, continue to write the story. You should include 3 episodes (the last episode should reach your story's climax). Order your events/episodes so that they build on one another and that the events illustrate some aspect of your protagonist. Of course, use dialogue and description where appropriate in your story.

Try to use the quest archetype in your story.

Homework: Read up to chapter 15 in the Hobbit. There will be a test on chapters 10-15 next class.
