I just wanted to let you know that I’m trying a little writing experiment. I like to try new things once in a while, and I decided to write another five part story on my webpage. I really enjoyed doing that with Freya’s Story, only I wrote that more like a 5-act play. You know, prologue, conflict, rising action, falling action, denouement. Okay, I wasn’t that good about strictly following the structure, but I sort of did. Anyway, this time, I want to try something different. I’m making each section really short, but my goal is to have the protagonist make a bad decision in every story segment until the end. I’ve never structured a story that way, so I think it might be fun. Well, at least for me. Not so much for Ophelia. But we’ll see. I posted the first part tonight, and I hope to post one part every Friday until it’s done. http://www.judithpostswritingmusings.com/ophelias-story–part-1.html
Hope you like it.

Oh, I liked this story! Great tension- and such sadness! Drowning her sorrow seems like a bad descion. I see more on the way!

Oh, thanks! I’m glad you liked it. I’m trying 1st person/present tense, too. I haven’t written that way for years. I usually stick to 3rd person/past tense with internal dialogue, but this is more immediate, so I thought it would add to the tone. I keep forgetting and shifting verb tense, though. I’m going to have to concentrate!

Sorry. I tried to reload it and got the same URL. Maybe this will work. It’s my webpage link. Ophelia’s Story is in the left hand column and you can click on it. Hope you like it:) (And hope this works).

Weird timing that I stumbled across your blog…. I’m actually doing a similar writing experiment and writing a short story in four or five parts following story structure guidelines! I’m following your blog now, so we can work in parallel on our experiments! :). Good luck!
