WRITING OBSTACLE
Write a short story in a genre which you are either uncomfortable or unfamiliar with.
Think about which characters and plot lines would be suitable for your chosen genre, and how you will modulate your tone, language and style so that you don't end up writing in your comfort zone!
Horror
It was following me, it was running so fast I almost couldn’t get my little legs to carry me fast enough. What was it? I kept thinking to myself. What on earth does this thing want from me? And that’s when I knew what it wanted. I tripped over a rock and fell, my chin scraping against the hard street. It stopped running and stood over me. It’s breath smelled like death and it truly looked as though its face had never once showed a smile. It touched my shoulder. And within that second I knew, my time was up.
So I’m not super comfortable with the idea of writing about horror, I normally choose romance and such but I think this was a cool things to write about. One of the things that actually frightens me most are beings that you don’t know why they exist but they do exist and they’re going to come after you. So I thought that idea was perfect for this story.
