So I have to write an article for my class. Fatigue is a terrible monkey to
carry on your back. I think my classmate may detest me at this point because I submitted
three different ideas for this group project we are working on. Oh yeah! I
mentioned this in my last blog, it is our mock publication. The terrible thing
is that I started this already kind of iffy about the idea I was submitting. Of
course it led to confusion and needed clarification and so I felt the need to
clarify. So I set about submitting 2-3 more additional posts to attempt and explain
my article idea.
What I was trying to write about you ask, what makes a great fantasy. Our mock
publication was going to revolve around fantasy so wouldn’t our fake reader be interested
in reading about the makings of great fantasy work, from my perspective anyway.
After sometime and reviewing the idea I became frustrated with the thought,
said forget it, and scratched the whole thing. Instead I’ll try to something
else. I formulated a new idea.
I thought
it would be a good thing to explain to up and coming writers that the emotions
of a character can play a major part in the story. That was idea number two.
That proceeded to bomb equally as much. It was hard to explain to my
classmate how I wanted to present the article so that the writer can understand
that the characters emotions displayed properly were essential for the reader to
really connect. I probably explain it better here than I did to her. I’m just
blaming the whole thing on lack of sleep. Again I went on to use 2-3 additional
posts to simply try and convey the right thing. I felt satisfied, momentarily.
My classmate then proceeded to e-mail each group members idea in a single message. I reviewed the
other submissions and felt mines was quite inadequate when lined up and compared to the others. So with sleep finally in
my system and to my satisfaction (probably my classmates chagrin) I responded to
her e-mail and submitted a finale article idea: flashback. I need to practice
this anyway and what better way to learn my faults in using this skill than to
go through and research it in order to teach others. So there we have it. My idea
finalized.
