Post-apocalyptic sci-fi haahhhh *drools* --I mean that's great!
I should probably take some editing classes. Ugggh, I'd rather self-teach myself how though. It sounds so boring. Extremely educational and useful, but boring.
Editing is really useful, but yes, also incredibly dry. If you're interested in teaching yourself some really handy editing/grammar tips, I suggest Eats, Shoots and Leaves by Lynne Truss. It's a very smart and funny guide book to punctuation. The only draw back is that it's British and will therefor have a few rules that don't apply to Canadian grammar and punctuation standards. But still, it's really great.
I'd loooove to read your post-apocalyptic fic when it's done. <3
And thanks for the recommendation! Grammar seems to be my weak spot when it comes to editing, so that sounds awesome. I need to pick myself up a little black book of grammar as well, methinks. It's great that you're so dedicated to your program though! I think you're well on your way to something there!
Sure! I'm really happy with it so far, so I would be glad to share it when I'm done.
Yeah, I think I really realised that I was suited to my program when my prof made a grammar joke and I laughed for a good five minutes. So here's to hoping that it keeps up. :)
Awesome! Also, thanks for recommending Baccano. It's hilarious and amazing simultaneously (in a very good way).
That's definitely a good sign! Hehehe, I love it when specific humor does that to you XD I hope it keeps up for you too. Sounds like a good deal so far :D
When you finish Baccano and if you're still interested in something else, I recommend you check out Durarara. It's by the same creators. It's about a Dullahan (a headless horseman of sorts) searching for her stolen head. It's a bit less quirky than Baccano, but still really wonderful.
Oh yeah! I remember you telling me about that one. I loved the clip about the guy who stomped on the Ganguro girl's cell <3 I love quirky, so either way, I think I'm gonna check out Durarara.
My favorite (from Baccano) is Jacuzzi Splot. Who was your favorite?
