Advice
For this assignment, you may want to focus on a narrative element: time, character, plot, structure, and investigate its limits and possibilities. You may choose a narrative technique like second person point of view or free indirect discourse or elliptical plots or symbolism. You might want to explore narrative in other forms like poetry, or multimodal texts such as comics, or through experimental writing. You might want to attempt to use postmodern techniques like pastiche, parody, metafiction, intertextuality. You might want to explore the abject, or try queering your writing, or turn your attention to what narrative can and can’t do in relation to health, justice or ecology. You can build on a story you began writing in a class exercise, or steal an image or line from another work and make it your own.
