Writing Fiction

   I've recently learned that writing fiction isn't as simple as it may seem. While writing fiction, you have to have a lot of things in mind. You have to consider imagery, details, and you have to try to evoke certain feelings and emotions from your readers. When you write fiction, you want your audience to feel what you are trying to get them to feel. When people are reading and they aren't interested, they often don't feel emotion. A good piece of fiction makes you feel emotion.
   While discussing the "Writing Fiction" packet in class, my group and I came to the conclusion that a good fiction writer must truly evoke and make you feel several different types of emotions all in one story. We also discovered that fiction writers need to use active voice and they must show significant details.
   While reading the story "Polaroids", we discovered that writing some fiction is is watching a Polaroid develop. It just says how you can ficus your attention on a certain outcome but it doesn't mean that that goal is going to be attainable. This packet helped me see writing fiction in a different light and it makes me realize that it isn't as simple as it seems.
