What? I’m here to learn how to write a short story. That first evening we introduce ourselves and read a couple stories together as a group and talk about some simple elements of narrative like character and point of view and place, and then at the end, in the last few moments of class, the instructor says, “Your assignment for next week is to write a short story.” Five pages or so. Readers: enjoy!Īt twenty-seven, unsure what to do with my life and thinking I might like to write, I enroll in my first creative writing class through UCLA’s Extension program. “The feeling of writing for me, and why I fell for it so hard, was one of total freedom.” Thank you for this, Margaret. It’s charming, funny, and one of our favorite essays this year. Margaret Malone crafted this wonderful essay about her path to becoming a writer.
