So I just wrote a completely nonsensical statement for my essay on Dracula and I felt the need to share it with all of you.
"Bram Stoker’s Dracula draws from many elements of vampirism, from folklore to history to literature, combining them to form an amalgamation of myth. "
Really? An amalgamation of myth?
I'm currently reading a book called "Style" (it's based off/revised from the famous Strunk and White one) and it makes these great points about clarity in writing, and how to avoid turgid and completely useless prose. I'm probably going to do a post on it pretty soon. But the point is that it it called my attention to some really akward writing that I recognize, but don't always know how to fix, and with this essay I'm just flying in the face of everything it tells me to do.
le sigh.
Anyway, I actually posted to say that I got a tumblr and I'm going to be cross-posting a lot of stuff between there and here, probably, because I'm a lazy blogger and it'd generally be the same stuff anyway. Except the tumblr has more gifs on it.
The adress is www.elevatorchild.tumblr.com and you should totally follow me because I'm slightly interesting, maybe.
