WRITING OBSTACLE

Start a story with a syllogism.

A syllogism is a rhetorical device that makes use of deductive thinking. It usually follows the format of ‘A is B. B is C. So A is C.’ An example may be: Killing is evil. An assassin kills people. So an assassin must be evil.

Friend

Drama

YA fiction

I’m friends with Mariam. Mariam’s friends with Claire. So I must be friends with Claire. But I’m not. I hate Claire.

Claire is a bitch. I can’t stand her. It’s hard to be friends with Mariam when she’s friends with Claire. No one is nice to Claire except Mariam. Everyone is nice to Mariam.

Mariam doesn’t actually like Claire. She is just a pushover. Her being a pushover gets annoying. That’s one thing Claire and I agree on.

Claire doesn’t want Mariam to be friends with me. I don’t want Mariam to be friends with Claire. Maybe I’m just as bad as Claire.
