Students will read works by several contemporary authors in a variety of writing genres. These works will serve as a source of style and technique from which students can model their own writing. Authors studied include: Anne Michaels, Tim O'Brien, Stewart O'Nan, Barbara Kingsolver, Michael Cunningham, Rita Dove, David Sedaris, Jasper Fforde, Christopher Moore,
Cormac McCarthy and David Guterson, plus several poets and short fiction writers.
Please finish reading A Prayer for the Dying and work on your short story when you get a chance...
Enjoy the time off, get rested and refreshed...
See you in January--Happy New Year!
Ms. Gamzon

Hi Ms. Gamzon Happy New Year! I have an important question about 2nd person. If my story is in second person, present tense but theirs a flash back, would I write it past tense and Italics? Or Keep it Present tense and just make it Italics?
