So I didn't find my edited third chapter, but no worries, I just edited the chapter over again and this time the edits are better! At least I'm telling myself that. But in my searching, I found all my old stories sketches and plays from high school/first year. One thing I found that was particularly interesting was the beginnings of a novel. Its sort of a surreal semi-autobiographical look at a senior's last year of high school. There's an invisible significant others, porn, heavily medicated bosses, and a boy named Jesus so he can get into heaven and still be an atheist. So I'm reading this, wincing at the bad writing and wondering how a wrote something that reminds me of Tom Robbins YEARS before I touched one of his novels. Really, its kind of unnerving. Now if it was written as well as Tom Robbins, then I'd have something to be pleased with.
I REALLY want to write. Not to write my thesis but to write creatively. I want to take some of the ideas I re-discovered and play with them...But unfortunately, the thesis fairies do not exist and I have to write my thesis. Granted, my thesis is FULL of fairies but of a different kind.*
*Yes, it is a politically incorrect term but in the context of my thesis, fairy was an identity category used by some men during the time period, not just used about them by outsiders or in a strictly pejorative sense......Did I mention I want this thesis done and...OVER WITH!!!!!!!!!
