Grey Snow - 3 Episodes Complete, EP 4 in Progress, but on Hiatus, 4/20 Sketches Complete
Kuo Suku Zubujito - the day you see anything new on this before I finish GS is the day pigs rain from the sky... -_-
ENGL 396 Story #1 - Currently in Planning (Deadline: 2/15)

So, as of yesterday, the Spring semester is in progress. Creative Writing seems like it should be fun. It's a small class, but it's workshop style, and we have to bring in two short stories (15-25 pages 2x spaced) for critique and revision. I signed up for my first to be discussed on February 22, which means I actually have to have it finished by like the 15th, so I can turn it in the week before. At the moment I only have a vague idea for a story, so if anyone would like to give me suggestions, I am quite open to it!

Anyways, about Grey Snow... Well, in writing EP 4, I found I could get nowhere, and the things I wrote were just not interesting. I realized what my problem was, it was that I just didn't know enough about the people I was depicting! With a main cast of 20 characters, half the time I find myself forgetting names! (I've never been good with names anyways...) In order to remedy this, I decided to write character sketches. Just, little scenes in their lives that portrayed their characters. And I decided to do this for all 20. And therein lies the problem...

In any case, that's going to take forever, so instead of putting off EP 4 until I finished all of them, I decided I'll just do the ones necessary for the episode, then write it. HOWEVER, this cannot happen until I push out my first short story for class. GS is for fun, this is for a grade.
