of a study in the style of an author you admire. Suggested models: Hemingway
or Joyce. (click for lesson)
Note: You can pick your own favorite author but please email me a page
of the author's work to compare to your exercise.
2-3 pages of a descriptive piece: person (character study); place (setting, dominant
impression); activity (put reader in the mind of someone doing an activity).

Note: You are a painter of portraits, landscapes, events, and your
words are the paint! Show don't tell!
2-3 pages (a start at least) on a story of your own.
Note: So what have you been up to? Any style or story will be fine.
Total of all pages should be not less than 10
pages. But... notice that you aren't required to write a 10 page story. Nice
if you can do it, but not required!
