When I took three semesters of Fiction Workshop, we had to have EVERYTHING about our characters thought out BEFORE we even started writing the actual stories. This particular person would've flunked (if not sent back to Elements of Creative Writing.)
Yolanda, before you start on the story, THINK about EVERY PART of the story individually. Why not 1) sign up for a creative writing course at a local college or school and 2) READ, READ, READ (the second from a sign posted in the English Department, but I don't recall which office door or where it came from.)
