Writing Projects

 

As I explore the different types of writing I hope to develop my writing skills and find what I excel at the most. I’m sure I’ll improve over time.

I have plenty of ideas waiting to be developed in my Writing Portfolio (incomplete). Besides two short stories and one novel, I have about ten ideas at stage 1 development. Plus a word document of other potential ideas as they are thought of.

Categories:

1. Short Fiction: 5 short stories, 1 being revised for submission
2. Topical Stories
3.  Nonfiction & Creative Nonfiction
4. Novels (long term projects/excerpts)
5. Book Club: Creative Responses & Reviews

 

6 Stages of Writing Development

Stage 1: Pre-Writing/development (brainstorming, outline, rough draft, strengthening specific writing elements)

Stage 2: Draft 1 (plus rewriting & revising)

Stage 3: Draft 2 (plus rewriting & revising)

Stage 4: Draft 3: (plus revising, proofreading & editing)

Stage 5: Final Draft (plus line-editing/polishing)

Stage 6: Finished in Portfolio= submitted to be potentially published
