If it weren't for "Hills Like White Elephants," this would be the worst short story ever.

Thank you, Hemingway.

Hahaha, that's a great sentence.

What's the story?

[3pipeproblem.livejournal.com]

Oh, this story I'm writing wrote this morning for my creative writing class. Basically, I came up with a cool idea, procrastinated, wrote the requisite 3 pages for workshop but had no idea where they were going, procrastinated some more, and wrote another 4 pages that may or may not bear any relation to the first three.

Yes.

The problem is that my prof wants stories where people overcome conflict and learn and grow. I want stories where I describe the setting a lot and people talk. Crap, I think "Hills Like White Elephants" fits that description.

Yeah I know that but I got a "U" on my paper that said it was about abortion. I turned in the same paper for freshman comp and got a B

What's a "U" mean? Unsatisfactory?
