AHHH MAJOR WORK!!!!

So the time has come to start writing.

3,000 word short story in two weeks.

I have my idea, I arrived at it with some help but really like it.

So basically, I plan to write about this man named Richard (for some reason I only really saw him as a Richard) who has just died.
He isn't sure why or how he has died, all he knows is that he is dead.
Then it's like...he starts hearing the conversations of his family and friends, talking about him after his death. I want them to mostly be saying bad things/expressing their frustrations at him. Even though he is dead, I want him to realise that even though he thought he was a good man others thought otherwise. I want him to be scared of death and scared of hearing the conversations.

My character is meant to go through some sort of change but I'm not sure how I am going to make that work seeing as he is dead. Maybe his change will just be the realisation that he was only really living for himself.

Anyway, I will end with him being revived. The story will only cover about 15 minutes in time. I want the audience to be able to imagine what happens next - does he confront his family about their feelings, or does he try and make himself a better person?

I am really excited to write this, I hope that it works out. I'm really liking the class, but I have found it a little hard because I think I'm the only first year in the course, and everyone else just seems so...smart. It's been fun though and I'd glad I did it.

I'll keep posted on how the story turns out.

Peace!
