Please upload your approx. 700-1,000-word* story draft as a .doc, .docx, .pdf, or .rtf file.

You have a lot of freedom with this assignment, especially for the rough draft. You can choose your topic.

A narrative is simply telling a story, be it fiction or nonfiction — you can write about any subject in any genre! A descriptive story describes an idea, event, or theme. These are often anecdotal or experiential. Think of op-eds in a newspaper or magazine. Read a few to get an idea of the style.
