Campfire Stories!

Taken from Google Images

Create a few characters that are sitting around a campfire, and feel free to use characters you've already created.  Maybe one of the gossipers from yesterday's prompt meets up with the character you created last week based off of the photo.  What would that interaction be like? 

What is it that draws people to the outdoors?  (maybe one of your characters doesn't even want to be there; maybe this isn't even a camping trip...).  Maybe your characters are on the run.  Maybe they are trying to have a romantic getaway.  Maybe they are stranded.  What kind of things do people talk about while camping or stuck outside?  What can they discover about one another while alone in the woods?  Create some realistic dialogue for your characters!

Remember to keep your focus on:

1. Scene/Setting

2. Believable Characters

3. Realistic Dialogue

When you post your blogs over the weekend, be sure to show me that you understand the importance of these three aspects of short-story writing and have taken measures to use each element effectively in your writing!
