As promised...
Mar. 30th, 2004 12:55 amOkay, so I said I would maybe post my story, and I think I will. I have a few ideas as to where I want it to go, and a few specific scenes I want to add, but I thought I would talk to my professor tomorrow before I do that.
One thing it is missing, however, is a central conflict. I haven't quite worked out what the root of their misery is, but I know I don't want it to be anything too heavy-handed. A lot of it has to do with the close quarters and the heat, but I think there should be something a little more central than that. Also, I was wondering if you all think I should make the setting more specific, or if I should leave it in an un-named city.
I need lots of constructive criticism on this one, so fire away. :-)
( As yet untitled, like all of my stories )
Also, I don't like the "end" much. And I feel like I need more details, or rather, better imagery in a lot of places. I dunno. Help me out here. ;)
