You can continue what you started during the workshop or do one of the options below. Email me no more than four double-spaced pages in 12-point type as a Word or Google document. If it’s a Google document, please remember to give me permission to edit it. Get your homework to me no later than Wednesday at noon.

Make one of these adages the title of your story and write how the precept works out for your characters—which can be disastrously or perfectly. (You can change the title later if you come up with something you like better.)

• Two heads are better than one

• If at first you fail, try, try, try again
