Oct. 22nd, 2008 11:21 amRereading The Lies of Locke Lamora is making me want to write the AU where the Pevensie are the best damn thieves in the business and Caspian is a mark who then becomes their newest recruit. Set in a fantasy kingdom, of course.
We are now on version friggin' three of Dust 3; I think I've written, like, seven thousand words for this chapter overall counting the two cut versions. It's all talkyface and exposition; I need some action here! I'll have Peter do something rash; that always works well.
Current crisis of the moment: take two English classes next semester or two history classes? I'd do both, but that puts me over the credit limit by one credit (it wouldn't if I wasn't taking band; that's the one credit. And Japanese is four credits, what the hell, everything else is three). I have to take ENLS200; it's a major requirement. The other English class I'd take would be Intro to Creative Writing, which meets once a week. I'd rather take two history classes, but to do the creative writing concentration I have to have four creative writing classes by senior year. (Which, uh, actually shouldn't be that hard.) I'm definitely taking an honors history class, because I don't have any honors classes yet and if I don't take one this coming semester I'm going to get kicked out of the honors program. *winces* I'll either take the honors class Victorianism or Dante and His World, and then there are a couple other history classes I'm interested in. One is Early Middle Ages and the other one is Temples and Festivals in Ancient Greece. I'm also probably taking a science class called Natural Disasters (I'm going to see if I can do my lab science at CWU this summer), and Japanese 102. And concert band, obviously. Thoughts? Advice? Bedlam, you're crazy?
