Abstract
Void and Other Stories is a collection of works from my time at KSU that exemplifies my writing process. This process involves finding inspiration, doing research, and editing. “Void,” a short story, is included in the title of my capstone because it best represents all three of these elements and contains the haunting element that characterizes the majority of my writing. As I continue to pursue my goal of publishing, I have the advice and experience from my time in the KSU MAPW program. I also have relationships with peers and teachers from whom I can seek help and advice. These things are invaluable and a major part of my takeaway from my time there.
