Also, please read "The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World" for next week. No written work for this assignment--just read and enjoy the story.
#1: Your main character is home alone, just like most nights. This time, however, a new neighbor pays them a visit. What happens next? Why is the neighbor visiting? Who is this neighbor? What might the neighbor ask or need from the protagonist? Tell the story.
#2: Your character finds an intricate envelope on the ground; an invitation. What is the invitation to? Was the letter intended for the person who found it? What happens after the letter is delivered? Does the protagonist throw the letter away or does he/she honor the invitation? What happens next? Write.
#3: While on a hike with a friend or relative, your main character discovers something hidden or buried. Whatever it is they found, that thing will change your character forever. Tell the story of how life changes or how the character changes because of this discovery. You may wish to use flashbacks or a frame to structure your story.
#2: Read Andrew Varnon's poem: "Be My Sherpa", Then, write your own love (or anti-love) poem as your post assignment on your blog.
#3: Read the short story "The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World."
