i'm sorry i've been so absent, you guys!
ugh, academics are kicking me in the ass. i'm not even taking that many classes--two!--but because i spent so much of october focused on beethoven, i've been neglecting my long term assignments, and now i have two four page papers (and still need to read and research) due in two weeks.
as much as i love school, sometimes it can just be annoying!
but, anyway--let's talk about more fun things!
i'm afraid i might also be losing sight of exchange deadlines (haven't really started anything yet... oops?), but that aside, i'm trying in a couple of my fics to break out of my safety zone a little bit, which is angst and pieces that are driven more by the characters than the plot.
i'm attempting to write at least one plotty adventure story, but as i've only written one other (and that was forever ago, and it was like pulling teeth!), and i was wondering if those among you who feel comfortable with adventure stories have any words of wisdom for me. some of it on my part may be a lack of creativity for complex story lines, and that i've seen so many of my ideas already executed far better than i probably could.
breaking out of comfort zones is hard, but i'd really like to try, even if the finished product does end up a little rough around the edges as a result!
so i guess what i'd really like to know is if anyone would be willing, at this early stage, to help me out with my
dmhgficexchange story... i feel pretty confident in my overall grasp of grammar, so what i'd really like is someone to bounce ideas off of, and just an extra pair of eyes.
anyone?
i'd gladly return the favor, now or at a later date! :D
