For the past six months we have taken time out of our LA class to write stories. To help with our story writing we have been working with author, Frances Dowell.

While working on a book we were tasked with a few specific things that would help us with the strength of our writing. Some of these including a good introduction scene that lures your reader in, Sticks and stones problems in the plot to help spread out the action and lots of other things that helped us improves out writing.

After we had majorly completed our writing we read a small section of our story to Frances Dowell. This was very interesting and unique experience because you’re reading your own book, your own creation to an actual author. But not only did we get feedback from Frances Dowell herself; we also got feedback from our fellow peers and classmates. This really helps us because we get to see another perspective, another eye in the story. Not to mention it also helped with any anxiety we had with speaking into a crowd of people.

We put lots of time and effort into our stories. The time that we took really paid off and I think I stand by most people that I am proud of the story that I have created.
