Story Building

For one of my classes I have to write a fictional short story. I have been looking forward to it, but somehow it is still so easy to procrastinate. I have worked on it though. Which ironically doesn't mean I've actually written any of it, but I have planned parts out and bounced ideas and plots off of people. And that is what I was going to write about. It's absolutely amazing how many things go into creating a story. The motives, cultures, clothes, time line, rooms, and of course the characters. Last semester I was writing nonfiction. There are still a lot of things involved but it doesn't seem like as much because I know so much about it already. I lived it after all. Anyway it has been an interesting journey, and I haven't even started yet. Perhaps down the road when it's been written and rewritten and I'm entirely sick of it, I'll post it so other people can get sick of it too. Why do I like writing?
