Day 15 Assignment 15: Create a Time line for the beginning and middle of your story. Then write a short synopsis of what happens in the middle.

WOOO!!! Working on my actual STORY!!! If you can't tell I'm super excited. I have been writing for about four hours and if my eyes weren't freaking out and seeing little letters and black lines everywhere I'd keep writing. So today I had to write a time line of what happens from the beginning to the end of the middle. It was super fun. I'm really liking what I have so far and I can't wait to work more on it. Alas I have important things to attend to today and cannot work on it more. :(
I feel really lame for actually being sad about not being able to write more. Haha I hope that is a good sign.

So for my timeline I used a graph instead of an actual line with points on it. I don't like timelines and using a graph made it feel less tedious and less like a string of events. This is kind of what it looked like:  (only it had a lot more detail on what happened, sorry I really don't want to give much away )

Start. Beginning>>>
1. Main character is hit on by coworker
2. Main character (at work) is Confronted by her boyfriend, but they manage to talk things out without making too much of a scene or fighting
3. Angry his coworker  tells the same lie to her brother
4. the brother gets his friends to go teach Main character a lesson
5. Main character is cornered in an alley by a group of mean people.

Alright so that was just an example, I went off of what I posted for the Point Of View assignment. I am not actually taking the story in this direction. I don't like having her be the first significant event that happens to my Main character. especially since she doesn't resurface later in the story. maybe if I can some how get her to show up later it would work to some degree...but this isn't some story about love and some jealous girl getting revenge on a guy because he didn't like her.
anyways, today was a good writing day.

Never give up on what you want to do! :)


Day 15 Completed!
