First Drafts of short stories should be shared with Mr. Davidge via google share to jcdavidge@educbe.ab.ca. You story file should have the story title and your first name and last name initial. First draft are due by Friday, November 8. Before you submit your story to our Final Draft submission by Monday November 18: 1) Ensure your tenses are consistent. Most fiction is written in the past tense and it is very challenging to write on the present tense (as a story tends to move through a series of events that exist in different stages in time). It is common to accidentally write certain passages or sentences in the present tense but that should be addressed before your final submission. 2) Ensure your dialogue is formatted accurately. A handout was given to help with this. 3) Set the general font for your story to Georgia, Size 12. 4) Title your story and then have your author name on the line below it. Example: The Stormy Day (bold, size 20, centred) by James Davidge
