A Short Entry This Time

The end of November has arrived and I haven’t seen any movies in theaters. There were films that interested me but for one reason or another, I decided to pass on them. There are some that I want to see next month, but I’ll see how they are received when their release date nears. 

Speaking of my interests, I’m still interested in continuing to be with the writing group. I talked with the person in charge about the issue I alluded to before and though I don’t think I got through completely, I think some understanding was reached. We talked about poetry, which there wasn’t much enthusiasm about, but when we were to write our own, I was more engaged with it because I made it about Gamera. That is funny, because when I took poetry classes, I also made them about monsters or at one point, a recurring fear about home intruders to make them more interesting to me. Then we read our works, and I continued where I left off with my Land Before Time fanfic. I managed to show a video on how to write sequels, since I thought it was relevant to the class and was relieved the person in charge and maybe one of the guys appeared to take notes of in it. I have other listens or articles, so I can least link them to the person in charge if I ever get around to asking for her email address.

As for school, the bulk of final work is coming up in the next few weeks. I have to rewrite at least two works for the final portfolio for the nonfiction class, one five pages and the other around eleven. From reading the paper syllabus, it seems the readings have stopped now but he has added readings that weren’t there before, so who knows how that will turn out. That would be less of a burden but there is also a third short essay to be done and the usual weekly posting assignments. This will be a challenge to juggle. Fortunately, the Writing Portfolio class only has one week of reviewing left, so I wouldn’t be too bogged down with work as the semester ends.

For fanfiction news, yeah, I’m not going to make posting the next chapter of We Will Hold On Forever. I have around fifteen skipped days and as I said before, I have been slow with writing until recently. Hopefully, I’ll have chapters posted by the end of the year. Though the pace next year might go way down. Beginning at some point in January, I’ll be working on writing an original story for my MFA course, so I’ve decided to swap my fic writing time with that project. Depending on the time, I might write the fic on weekends and other times in-between. I would have a note for this when I do get around to posting the next chapters. So others who read the story will have to wait longer as I write additional chapters. There might be a respite during the summer months when I don’t take classes but I’m unsure if I’d manage to post anything by then.

That’s all for now. I’m doing some last edits of this entry on Saturday in around an hour before I go to bed. Until the end of the year, see you!
