I might organize a short story/poetry contest?
I might! I'm thinking about it. I've never done anything like that before, though.
I'm only taking one class in the summer and no longer have a horrible room mate! Now the horrible room mate is me. What I'm saying is I have time and compassion to spare, haha.
I'm not sure if anyone would be interested in a contest called Walking to Utopia/The First Step to Utopia. Also I haven't got all the rules down pat. I'm not really interested in a "Utopia that is GASP actually a dystopia!" That's already a very specific trope in dystopian fiction.
Basically, I need to figure out what it is I'm trying for before I get this off the ground.
New Years
One of my resolutions for 2015 is to keep a food blog that does 12 recipes minimum for the year. That went live today! My basic aim is to leave people with a bunch of recipes that are easy to intermediate skill level, answer cooking questions to the best of my abilities and hand out cooking tips. I eat everything I make, and in most cases the recipes are not copied from anywhere except my own brain. It should be a fun ride!
I'm pretty excited about it, and I've been considering cross posting some things here. I'm not sure if anyone is interested though.
Thoughts?
No.
School is incredibly overwhelming, even though this is 'going back' to university after just a year break. It's week three (or four? some kind of transition happens at the end of each week and it's very confusing) and I feel like I'm failing everything, especially the online course because there's no space for me to actually get a feel for the material through my prof. Also the course schedule is confusing.
Correspondence is probably not for me. I don't think I'll do it again unless I have to.
Expect blood and tears to break the silence at some point and basically fuck this.
Hitching a Ride with Dialogue
You probably know what dialogue is. Even if you've never thought about it in fancy, official terms like "dialogue in writing is the representation of speech between two or more speakers", and have always thought of it more like "people talking", you more or less have the gist of it. Sometimes authors can pull off a story that forgoes dialogue, but those are in the firm minority. The fact that dialogue is such a widely used device means there are a few rules to it, most of which are easy. However, this fact has never stopped people like you or I from royally messing them up.
So, how does it work?
There are four basic aspects to dialogue:
