Short Story Reflection

I have been asked to write a short story for my English class. I am to use a character created on Heromachine. I am also supposed to write the story with the purpose of teaching the reader the theme.

Using Heromachine to create a character is probably the only easy thing about this assignment thus far. I found the creation of the character to be an enjoyable thing to do.

The most difficult thing so far has been to come up with a theme and story to write about. I am not very creative when it comes to anything at all, so I find the task of writing my own story rather daunting.

Currently, my main character is called Merica Man, though this will likely change when I come up with a real story. Merica Man is an extremely patriotic senior citizen who is convinced that he must save America from certain destruction. He dresses in flamboyant outfits of red, white, and blue and keeps his gray hair fashioned into two huge spikes.

Writing this story without feeling like a poor writer is probably going to be one of the most difficult writing assignments of the year. I am not looking forward to it, to be honest.
