I've been doing a first-year writing elective for my online university course over summer, and I just got back the final assignment, which was to write 1350 words on 'Place and Encounter' (an encounter between two characters, with an emphasis on making the place it was in an integral part of the writing).
Being me and devoted to making my own life harder, I decided to do a 'discussion' in a cemetery between a ghost and a cat (really a monologue since the cat didn't even miaow :) so the rather less than spooky ghost had to do all the talking (and I suspect sounded a lot like what I would were I dead).
Be that as it may... I got a high distinction!!! Given the course is for fun, not employment, that is way more than I was hoping for :) My tutor suggested I keep working in it to expand into a full story, I may put it aside to think about and do just that.
