Current Exercise Assignment EXERCISE #46: It's Party Time!
Let's Party! Your assignment over the next two weeks is to write a short story, or poem,
in which the focal scene is a party. It's your party and you are going to
place us, the readers, right in the center of the fun, turmoil, chaos,
deceit, bickering, disappointment, etc., experienced by your characters. Is it a party you try to attend, but miss? Why? What is at jeopardy by your
non-attendance? Is it a child's birthday party? Is it a promotion party at work for the B**** that got the position you
expected? Is it a party where you are the only guest? Is your character responsible for planning or attending? What goes wrong?
(Those who have ever been responsible for pulling together a party are well
aware that 'something' always goes wrong!) The possibilities are endless. You take it from here. Just remember that a
party of some sort must be the setting and/or focus of your work. * * * * Submit your work as SUB: EXER:46 (Followed by the title). Crits are to be submitted as CRIT: EXER:46 (Followed by title). Don't forget to give your submissions a "working title" to help us keep the crits straight. (Besides, you need to get into the habit of coming up with titles for your work.)
