During a round of student feedback in a workshop for LITR0110: “Fiction I” this Wednesday, Alan Schaeffer ’16 suggested that classmate Amy Wilson’s story, “Purple Ashes,” could be “a little bit shorter maybe.” "You could trim it a little bit, I think,” said Schaeffer, a student in the class of 12 writers who meet once a week to give notes on each other’s stories. "Maybe try and tighten it up, just to make it flow better in general. I think that would really help the pacing.” Other students echoed Schaeffer’s suggestion, adding that, overall, they liked the story, but could see it being a little shorter maybe in some parts. “Definitely keep the drug overdose at the end though,” said Schaeffer. “I thought that part was really powerful and stream of consciousness.”
