A Bad Story

In my Fiction class I have tons of fun. We mostly do different exercises to help us with our writing. My favorite exercise that we did today was writing a bad story. This was to help us recognize that if we knew what a bad story was we could hopefully avoid some of those mistakes in our writing. So, I really liked my bad story, and I want to share it with you. I hope you enjoy it!

A Bad Story

Once upon a time the great hero was preparing for his epic quest. The world needed to be saved, and he was the only man who could do it, because he was a hero. The hero went on his quest to save the world and in order to save the world went out into the world. The hero traveled very far, and came to a land of far away land. In far away land the hero did heroic deeds, and was a good person. Everybody loved him.

Then the chickens attacked. Hordes of them. The hero displayed great heroism in his destruction of the foul fowl, but soon died. The world could not be saved, and the hero died in far away land. The princess mourned, and the dragon killed villagers.

Then the illegitimate son of the hero came forth and began a quest to save the world. The world was in need of saving, and only he was heroic enough to do it. He was a hero. The hero went to into the world that needed saving and traveled for a very long time. He soon came to quest land and rescued a damsel in distress. They lived happily ever after. Then the hero became a ninja and avenged his father by attacking the chickens with kunai and shuriken. But the chickens prevailed. And he died. The world was never saved.

New blog posts? Or new school assignments? Take what you can get!

Hey there, whoever you are who's bizarre enough to still be checking my blog when I haven't written in forever. Or people on FaceBook. Yeah, you probably see this too. Whatever. Either way, I've made a decision. I write a lot. I write all the time. I'm constantly writing. I'm a writing major maniac. I'm insane. I just write whenever I can. But none of you ever get to see that writing. So I've decided to start multitasking some of my writing. Just because I wrote something for a class doesn't mean I can't let you guys read it too. So from now on if I have a blog worthy piece of writing that I've done for class I'll put it on my blog! Aren't you happy? Now you might actually here from me every now and then. In fact, you may hear from me rather often! Hooray! Anyway, I'm going to post some of the writing I've done so far this year. Tell me what you think!
