Anyway, I'm an English major and I'm in my Senior year, and I'm taking a short story workshop. I did fine with my first story, but I'm hitting a wall on my second. It is due tomorrow, and I just can't think of any good ideas. Normally I can just sit down and start writing and it will turn into something workable, but it just ain't happening this time. I think I'm getting stressed with the whole if-I-don't-get-this-story-done-I'll-fail-the-class-and-not-graduate thing. My home working computer is down, along with all of my past stories that I might otherwise steal for this class. If you could help me out I'd be greatly appreciative. Either full-fledged ideas or "first sentences" should help me get my feet off the ground. I can write 15-20 pages of narriative in about 3 hours - my last story, written just that way, was very well recieved by the class. The class is mature enough to handle serious stories on touchy topics (somebody wrote a chilling story about date rape, for instance), so if you have an idea that can't be printed here for grandmotherly reasons, feel free to email it to me. Use <a href="mailto:dmspiel@comcast.net">dmspiel@comcast.net</a> since I can't get my regular email right now.  Sorry for bothering you all at home but I just didn't know where to turn......</blockquote>
