Short Story

So, my last paper in my summer class will be either comparing my life to a short story, or writing a short story. When I was a kid I used to write all kinds of books, but they were silly little kid books, the point is I always wanted to be a writer. Then one day I realized it was a lot harder than it seemed and I just sorta gave up on the idea of ever being a good enough writer to write a story people would want to read. Well, I have figured out there is a way I can write a good story, my life experience. My teacher has made us study the connection between these short stories and the life of the author. It has become very obvious that the stories are very much in reflection of the authors life. As many of my friends know, I have been through and lived through some interesting shit. Now I am just trying to decide what story to write. (Dont worry I will be changing names and small details) I have a few good ideas of what to write about.... I am just interested to see if it works out. I might break a dam and put my entire life into short stories. Definitely cant publish that until the parents are passed.....
