Half of Anything is the Title Anyways

I turned in my short story today. The important thing is not the story--the first story I've finished writing in years--but rather the foundation. This is a starting point; I'm writing again.

Also, my story is better than the other story we're discussing, so that's good.

That's where I stop, by-the-by. I don't think I'll discuss the stuff we read in that class, unless it's really good. Publicly bashing a story that someone is already sharing with twenty strangers seems cruel and excessive.
