Creative Writing Dr. McGoldrick Story 2 Ghost Story/Tone
Your next story will be a ghost/horror story. Over the weekend, read one or two of the following tales that are online in their complete text…just to get a feel for it. Your story can be anything. You can make it contemporary or historical or futuristic. The length, however, will be limited to 750 words…only about three pages, 12 pt font, double-spaced. Keep this in mind as you plan your tale… The focus on the story will be on tone. We’ll talk about that on Monday, before you really begin writing.
