The application project that I am going to be doing is a short story. My story is going to be following an elementary aged kid who has an obsession with video games. I plan to go through how video games impact his life negatively and positively. The negative impacts will range from lagging behind in school work to signs of desensitization. The positive influences I plan to incorporate are increased visual reflexes and increased cognitive abilities. I also plan to have him in the end figure out a good median of video games and real life, but is not definite at this point.
So far I have come up with a basic outline of what I want to incorporate into my story. Also I have begun an outline for my plot. In addition I have been examining other short stories to see how much detail they gave in their short stories to make them remain short stories instead of novels.
I still need to finish my plot line, however I may just leave the end out of the outline to kind of see where my writing takes it. In addition I still need to go through my sources a little more to make sure that I meet all the criteria for which ones to use. Other than that I just need to write it out.
