https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kwHiBYSIEl8uSIaidFjdAOT_Mgts_mEIJor4cuac7Kw/edit

Tear into it, you guys. Even though I wrote the draft, we’re all working together on this.

I’m doing fine on it right now. Just a little difficulty with actually describing the sunrise itself. I’d appreciate some help with that, since I don’t think in an artistic way.

Regrettable, but perhaps necessary.

The world is still ravaged, but the final sunrise is almost an oxymoron. Almost. So it’s symbolic of the old passing away – but there’s hope (symbolized in the sunrise) – and the new is coming. It’s a picture of redemption.

As for the character . . . I think it would fit best if (he? she?)…[Read more]

That’s where we have to start. And I don’t think we can decide on that until more of our fellow New Wessians have had a say.

I’ve done a couple pieces (neither worth much) but my preferred format is the short story. I also found out I’m in love with (and none too proficient at) microfiction. So we’re talking 75-100 words. It’s fun but challenging. Have any of you guys tried it?
