Knuckling down today.

So I wrote some original (if highly derivative) fiction for my creative writing class. I thought it was a short story. He said it was the beginning of a novel, and he wants more. So I've promised him chapter two... mentally adding it to the list:

1 - Snape Manor
2 - Beg Me For It, part Four (SNAFU)
3 - A Deserving Man (though I didn't hear back from Dad about the second part. Since it was for Dad, I take that as disinterest and am probably abandoning that one).
4 - Reunion
5 - Cursed Artefacts For Sale
6 - Two other original short stories

Is that everything? I've lost track.

Those of you who have commented in my journal (brodie and the stats) I'm not ignoring you! I'm just bloody, fucking busy.

I'm being very good and doing my homework this weekend, though still not on top of the pile. This weekend -

1 - one novel
2 - one paper on One Hundred Years of Solitude; another paper on Heart of Darkness (the latter is late)
3 - two literary critiques (one on Dr. Seuss, another on Chekov)
4 - one write-up of my end-of-term art project
5 - polish two poems

Haven't done interimminister for a few days. Love Percy, but have to get caught up on RL. I've asked sparrohawk if we can postpone our little run-in to another weekend.

It's an interesting question, and the short answer is that I find Skyehawke is the elitist's forum. Not much responsibility for feedback there. I haven't posted any stories there in a long time.

I feel totally out of the loop, as I don't frequent it much as it doens't work offline and that's how I read fiction - why is it elitist?

Only in that the people who read there tend to be the people that post there, and the people that post there tend to be the creme de la creme - or at least we think so, once we're invited. The creme de la creme don't need reviews, or need to leave them either.

Or maybe the readers are just lazy.

For my part, not many people read my stuff there, so I drop a story now and then, but don't bother with it much.
