Fantasy Story Draft Project; A Wizard of Earthsea (chapter one)

After your quiz on fantasy short stories, please go next door and work on your fantasy story draft.

If you need assistance or help, check the videos posted below (or in previous posts concerning writer's block, motivation, and beginning a story). Today is mainly about the middle of a story.

How to make a story: the middle
Writing the Mushy Middle
Tips from Stephen King

Now get writing!

During period 4, we will stop and pick up the last book for the year: A Wizard of Earthsea. Today, we will listen to the first chapter.

The author is Ursula K. LeGuin. She was popular before J.K. Rowling and inspired many fantasy writers with her excellent world building, compelling stories, and just good writing talent.

HOMEWORK: None. If you did not get much written today, please continue working on your fantasy drafts. Bring your Earthsea books back with you Wednesday.
