Raven: For example: when we say "cry", we mean, "Make us cry because the whole story is so emotional" Not, "Make us cry because the story is so bad, with the bad grammar and horrible plot." Got it? Good.
Writer: When we read your works, make your words stab us in the heart! I want to feel sorrow and suffering for the characters you develop, the plots you unfold, and the dialogue you construct.
When you start brainstorming for this short story, think of the saddest plot you could come up with. Sure it won't be Rue's death, but I'm sure you coulld come up with something even more emotional than that.
