Remember the story challenge read earlier post
forth is blog for details. You stand to win a digital
voice recorder. All stories will be published on
my blog). If I was taking part, this is what I will do;
1. Read the story from the bible to understand
and appreciate the woman’s obsession and
Joseph’s trauma. Try to capture their emotional
state of mind.
2. To replicate it in modern times, I will think of all the superior/subordinate relationships.
Father/child, boss/colleague, pastor/member,
landlord/tenant etc. a relationship where you
have a lot to lose when you say no.
3. I will not just think of sexual relationship. I
can think of something that has to do with somebody asking me to do something unethical.
4. I will then do the plot of three of such different
scenarios.
5. I will spend another day thinking of which I
am more comfortable with.
6. I will then ask myself which voice i want to use. The 1st, 2nd or 3rd person voice.
7. I will then do the first draft early in the
morning or whichever time is convenient to me
8. Then do the second and third draft.
9. Use pro writing to edit the work to remove
cliches lurking around, excessive use of a particular work, sticky sentences etc.
10. Send it to a critic for his assessment and help.
11. Take some or all of the corrections or advice
and rewrite.
12. Keep the draft for a few days. Look at it again
for mistakes before sending it off. People let’s not make Dr. Eghosa Imasuen’s
work easy LOL
