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.

Re: Dr Seuss?

Ye Gods, I'm having the worst time with the One Hundred Years of Solitude. I did a great job on my mid-term, and feel like I've already said what I wanted -- and now I have to write a paper.

On incest? I already tackled the larger issues, maybe zero in on something smaller. Say, the profane and the holy in 100 years....
