Welcome to our blog!

Hello, www grammar experts, soon to become short story authors!

Remember to post at least once a week for the first four weeks' worth of assignments. I'm planning to read short stories and write my thoughts, as well.

I'm looking forward to reading all your observations!

The Tidy Drawer

This story starts with the protagonist little Abby, sitting on a pile of toys in her messy room. Her mom comes in and tells her she MUST clean up the whole room. She finishes super fast and runs down to her mother who is impressed, and tells her she can have some "pocket money" because she finished so fast. Abby starts looking through the drawer which Mother had told her she would find the money in; but the drawer is too messy to find anything. She than confesses that she did not clean her room thoroughly. Her mother is cross but decides to help Abby clean under the bed, which was were Abby stuffed everything.

I think this story, if put into a category would be an adventure: The protagonist has a mission, does not complete it, and then confesses and fixes things. The conflict is a Person vs "Room". In this story the dialogue is the biggest plot mover, with few brackets.
