Fin de Siècle
I've got a number of things to work on over the next week. I need to determine how to squeeze what was supposed to be today's lecture on the context of The Tempest into Wednesday's class on the actual meat of the play. I've got to finish the third draft of my prospectus (which my chair promises is nearly there) and I also have something else in the works. I've started working freelance for Crimson Bamboo, writing tours for their app Rama. Basically its an app for walking tours that uses Google Maps and focuses on historical photos of the locations you are at. I wrote a tour for St. Augustine and I need to approve the edits before it goes live.
But tonight I decided that could wait until tomorrow. I've instead focused on the creative writing track, something I get to do little these days. A few years ago I finished the rough draft of a short story titled "Fin de Siècle." I liked it a lot, but I wasn't sure about it. I put it away and occasionally would tweak bits and pieces of it. I've always intended to work it into something finished and hopefully publishable. On a lark I opened it up tonight and worked through it, and now I think its actually in really good shape.
