Revisions

Revisions:



4. Write three new openings for your story.  Each one should be at least a few paragraphs long.  In each opening, start from a different moment in the story—maybe even at the very end.  What new possibilities are created by these openings?


3. For his novel A Farewell to Arms Ernest Hemingway wrote thirty-nine endings before finding the one he liked best.  For your story write three different endings, each one showing, in some way, how your character was changed by the action in the story.  What has to happen emotionally for your character by the end?



I am going to revise my short story Taking Chances and my short short story from my discussion board post Your Own Best Line.
