So it's a teeny bit late to start getting worried about this (seeing as how it's due in tomorrow) but is it really lame to be writing a story about an angel? He's a fairly amoral kind of an angel - what with the being the lover of a 15 year old - but still: angel. ::frets::

writing, uni

Engels! For every sentence that makes sense there's bound to be another one that makes you go wtf?

fiction? amarena June 4 2006, 10:53:05 UTC

Yes, I'm very much of the wtf? camp. What the hell is an engel? In English? I just thought it was the German word for Angel (or am I wrong there o Erin of the multi-lingual?)

But hello! It's not going too badly actually - except it's meant to be a story in 2 parts, and about 2500 words altogether, and I've just finished the first part and it's already 2000 words long. Oops...
I hope yours are going well. And how is the Boat? :(

I'm pretty sure engel is the german word for angel (and spanish is angel, but with a thing above the a, if I remember). Friedrich Engels was an associate of Marx who wrote alot of stuff, some of which is a bit '?'.

Glad that the story is going well! (Does it have to be two equal parts? Or are you more worried because you've written 2000 words and are nowhere near finished with it?)

Oh ja, I remember Engels - did we do him at school? or I feel like I'm seen him in a GN somewhere...

Worried because (it is bad and) because I'm not nearly finished and I've not much space to go. Damn, here I was thinking I'd have to be a few hundred words short. So annoying!

Re: fiction? chocolaterabbit June 4 2006, 11:17:56 UTC

'GN'?

That would be annoying. Can you shorten it somehow, without killing the narrative? 2500 is not really alot for a fiction peice.

Re: fiction? amarena June 5 2006, 13:02:38 UTC

Graphic novel :)

I actually lengthened it. Screw the word count! It's done, and finished, and bad, and handed in, and forgotten about already. Wheee!
