Finish reading Lorrie Moore's "How to Become a Writer." Figure out why it is a short story. Figure out why you read stories. Figure out why you are in this class. Write your own story. Question why it is a story. Post it to your blog. Try to make the teacher happy. Secretly hate the teacher. Wonder why he makes you read and respond to stories. Wonder why he has a beard. Maybe he is cold. Maybe he wants to cover acne. Maybe he lost his razor.
Read other people's stories in your class. Wonder why they are stories. Write them comments. Tell them why you like certain lines. Tell them what you find confusing. Try to make the teacher happy. Secretly hate the teacher. Wonder why he drinks so much coffee. Wonder why he likes wearing ties. Wonder why he teaches English. Wonder why he makes you read and respond to stories. Then read and respond to stories.
