    The, "Who hasn't studied" Thread

    Last minute study? All I really did was familiarise myself with my related text. Which pretty much just involves skim-reading one of Poe's, and looking at the blurb of my Agatha Christie novel. To be honest I haven't even done the latter. I don't have much a problem with my prescribed texts...

    2006 Ext 2ers FINISHED!!!

    I'm happy with mine as a thing of... written-ness. But not as a thing to get good marks. Happy with a pass really. Eh, my name's Thomas, I did a short story called The Duchess. Interestingly enough that's the name of my favourite make of light aircraft. Aircraft have nothing to do with...

    First Three Words of your MW (Just 'Cause)

    "It had been" exposition bit. Woot.

    Word limit - Over or under?

    Yes by the end, my audacity got cold feet, so after changing the ending I trimmed it down quite a bit. I think it was not quite 150 so near enough, I think I'm safe.

    Some words for those of you who are still up at this crazy hour

    It was more of a mental block anyway. Somehow I refused to let myself think anymore until I decided. Then I decided. The Duchess. Nice and simple and it works and I like it.

    Some words for those of you who are still up at this crazy hour

    Oh alright. Aren't I lucky I'm highly suggestible at this hour? I just hope I don't get marked down for it. Much. In other news, I now have the mentally impairing frustration of lack of working ink cartridge. I really should not have assumed that the brand new cartridge would have worked...

    Yeah hi, I fall into that category. Ahah... I've got my Major Work downpat I think. Or as much as me and my hired editorial proofreadery people (I'm a slave-driver!) can take. I'm stumped on title though... and I've gotten to a point where I can't continue my RS until I find a title. Grr...

    Titles

    I've not fully decided on mine. Heh. Well, I'm willing to sit on "Strands of Fate", only if I can't figure a superior title. And unfortunately for me, the fifth-word technique doesn't seem to mesh with my story... or my length of paragraphs.

    Word limit - Over or under?

    645 over, and I'll not be surprised to see it rise in the next err... what's left of the day. I could trim it easily, but... No.
