Managing Fictional Narrative Flow - Prose Style
Unit Completion Date: End of Week 9
[ Previous ][ 9 ][ Next ]
It's a useful exercise to closely examine your style in a particular story in a limited portion of the text. Often, you'll be able to use what you learn throughout the entire text as you redraft. Bernays and Painter have an excellent exercise for such close reading, #51 A Style of Your Own. Complete this exercise using the first page of your selected story from Best American , and then using the story you have submitted for workshop.

Style Exercise 3 (Opt.) - Submit Response


If you feel really energetic, go back to the imitation you did for Exercise 1 of this section and examine it as well, then compare it to the examination you've done of the selected story. This will give you a good sense of how you've done with your imitation.
