Having it all : a collection of short stories : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

The purpose of my creative project was to write and revise short fiction. "A Nice Christian Girl" and "Having It All" were two stories I wrote for English 405. "A Dog in the Middle of the Road" was a story I wrote for English 407. For my project, I decided to revise these stories. I revised "A Nice Christian Girl" by weaving another story line into it. For the revision of "Having It All" and "A Dog in the Middle of the Road," I ended up throwing out most of the original story. For these revisions, I made point-of-view changes, character changes, and plot changes that brought me closer to the vision I had for the stories."Wild Girls" and "Country Living" are newly written for the project. "Wild Girls" is a short, short story that I was inspired to write after listening to the radio one day. I started "Country Living" with one line from my journal of possible first lines for stories--it was an exercise from a book, in which I would write one line each day that could possibly open a story. I also revised these stories.Honors CollegeThesis (B.?.
