Back at school. Jet-lagged, but happy. Thanksgiving break was wonderful, even if I didn't get to see as many friends as I had hoped. I think I should leave the gather planning to other people, mine seem to have this tendency to flop and die.
Finally gave the TLA it's proper ending, Kenna, Liz, go take a look if you have time.
Just turned in the 6th? 7th? draft of chapter one in as my short story for my creative writing class.
Predictions:
A third of the class will like it and give constructive criticism;
Another third of the class will say it's written all wrong and give vehement opinions about how I should fix it and in the end I will ignore most of them because their suggestions would change the story entirely and not necessarily for the better;
And the rest of the class will be totally lost or apathetic and go 'huh? oh yeah, very creative...' and leave it at that.
When all is said and done the most usful editing I've had done to my stories was done by my younger sister and my friends. Criticism from classmates and teachers is sometimes helpful, but very seldom applicable due to their lack of knowledge about the overreaching plotline. Ah well.
