I gave Chase feedback on her story addition from last week (adding a character and setting action in motion). We read and discussed pp. 44-53 (about character development) in BIRD BY BIRD. Today and tomorrow, Chase will develop her story even further (partly by following Lamott's advice for building character) -- Chase will introduce another character and create a conflict of some sort. She will work to show, not tell, as she details the initial moments of that conflict. She will continue to work on this assignment during class tomorrow.
