Writing Fiction vs. Writing About Fiction

I found that writing fiction came more naturally to me than writing about fiction. The writing fiction process is something that I am familiar with and so I enjoyed doing it. The hardest part about writing fiction was finding where to start. After writing the beginning of my story, I was able to quickly finish the rest. Writing about fiction, however, is something that is not as natural to me. I spent hours trying to come up with a topic. Once I came up with a topic I spent days finding sources. It was so hard to create a fully developed paper with the stories that we had to choose from. I also found it hard to express my thoughts on the story in words that were easily understandable. No matter how many times I have to write a paper about a work of fiction, I don’t think I will ever get used to it and I seriously doubt that I ever will enjoy it!
After reading the fiction assigned, I saw how authors occasionally threw in a hint of humor or charm in their stories. I took this on in writing my story. I thought it would be nice if my story began more serious, went on to charm my audience and finished off making my audience laugh. I think it would be great to use the unusual circumstance assignment in my future teachings. I think that it would be both fun and educational for my students. It will allow them to be creative while helping them improve their writing.
