And my Reflection Statement is entitled 'How I Wrote Certain Of My Major Work; A Reflection Statement'.

Yes, I was going for pretentiousness there. :p

Mine is 3300 with RS (poetry.... word lim is under 5000 with RS).... it sounds a fair bit under I know, but my teacher thought it had a lot of substance in it, and it's written in a very minimalist style... I just think I couldn't maintain the quality if I tried to get closer to the word limit.

my story is called 'happily ever after?'

it challenges the audiences perceptions of fairytales and heroin..did u no that they are both similar in that they are read/used to escape the harsh reality of our world? lol! it was a fluke i came across that....

and it was a fluke about my title...i just made it up on the spot without thinking....yet in my report i discovered that its got many levels......

mines called
"not her cup of tea"

its a short story paralleling the lives of two women living in different points in history (1953 and 2003), and the women in 1953 is a housewife who poisons her husband using rat poison, and the person in 2003, plays detective as she reads her journal, and talks to people who lived during that time.

I really hated my title when I first thought up of it, but then I saw it worked on many levels.
