I am becoming increasingly frustrated with the work that I'm producing in this class. I still haven't been able to write assignment 3. Assignment four has completely defeated me. I tried to force something, it's not working, and I don't know how to make it work. There is nowhere for me to go with this story, as far as I can see, and I have no other ideas. And to be frank, I don't have time to be frustrated like this.
I'm abandoning the death story. Apparently my narrator sounds too much like a character I don't know and the entire premise is too similar to a book I haven't read. What's the point in continuing with it? If I can't come up with something fast I won't be handing in assignment 4 at all.
I am completely discouraged.
It's just an assignment. We can't be expected to produce masterpieces each time we are given a writing prompt. Personally, I thought the premise was awesome—Death feeling empathy for the lives he's taking. I think the voice was appealing to everyone in the class. Shove it in a drawer, go sip on a Peppermint Mocha, whip out your fountain pen and write something totally unrelated to school. Or do whatever you want... but that's what I'd do.
ReplyDeleteI SO hear you, Kellington. If it would make you feel better, I have a very shitty story I've been working on for four weeks that might cheer you up. And the Death story was good. Do not abandon. I repeat, do not abandon. Just wait until this Tuesday. I'm pretty sure that whatever I submit will make you feel good about everything you have ever submitted or will ever submit in the future. In fact, I'm procrastinating writing it right now!
