Well i have to right a short story for my english class. About 2 pages long.

Anyway it has to be about the first time we have done something. I chose the first time i played guitar to a crowd. This might be a boring topic but i figured i could right alot about it.

Its due in 4-5 days and i still havnt written anything =P.

I have a few ideas but none are very good so far =\

One of the things that has to be in it is a problem. Something the character in the story (which is me) has to overcome.

Can anyone here suggest something?

The hard part about that is most of it would be like:

" As i kicked into the legendary intro of eric clapton's classic 'layla' ..."

And i cant think of a problem the character (me) would have. Like snapping a guitar string or something? Wow... Interesting ... *cough*

EDIT: Also il probly make alot of spelling mistakes as its late where i am now =\

Maybe you shouldn't limit it to something physical like that. Perhaps, the problem is that you need to gain the crowd's approval and the piece is a battle to reach said approval.

Hmm ok.

We are allowed to change a few things to make the story better if we realy cant think of anything so i was thinking i could change it to the school concert instead of the ACTUAL story (me playing for my dads drunk freinds =P)
