brackenridge retreat and my presentation
I did my presentation today and it went really well. The only (major) problem was that for some reason the computer I was using turned my serif font into this all caps crazy circus-like font for some strange reason. Usually when a computer doesn't have the appropriate font it just turns it into times or times new roman. But no, not this computer. So some of the words ran off the slides and the positioning was off, but it still worked out really well since I explained everything and didn't really use the slides. The question and answer session was also kind of useful and I have a few things to think about. Namely:
1. I'm trying to be transparent with the reader to make sure they know when it's fiction and when it's nonfiction, but I'm also working with "meta-nonfiction" so I have to make sure to reconcile the two. It shouldn't be a big problem, but it's still something to be aware of.
2. I've got some book recommendations of books that do sort of what I'm doing. So I'll have to check them out.
3. There was another one, I swear, and I can't remember it now. It'll come to me later.
Now I just have to stand another half-day of hell until I can go home... The waiting is pretty much torture.
