Jots and Tittles

So I'm sitting in class, listening to people do critiques of stories... most of the things people are saying I don't agree with.  I thought this particular story was much better when it was paranormal, but that made it genre (though she said we could do magical realism) so the poor guy had to rewrite it.  It's not as good this time around but I still enjoyed it.

But seriously, why am I sitting here?  Do you have ANY idea how much I have to get done before 3 pm tomorrow?  I've still not finished doing the research for that presentation and I have to talk for ten minutes about it tomorrow.  About Rudyard Kipling, and how his changes in perspective before, during and after the war.  Like I even care (though, I do still love the Just-So Stories.  His tone is just  great piles of fun). 

Gah, and Judy, no!  This is a sweet story and there is NO reason to ruin it by making the main characters have random sex just because they were visited by a ghost.  What the crap.  That is completely ridiculous.  You don't need a sex scene in every freaking story!  BOO.

I guess I could be working on it right now but half of my attention has to be taken up by this workshop so if I get called on I can spout out some BS for Peter to write down.  Besides, I'm more likely to get something out of a catnap (not that I'll do that, either, but I would) than trying to do homework.

Maybe I'll do a poll, just because I've never done one before.  So... what shall I ask?  Hmmm... *devious smile*

I can guess what some of your answers will be, but it'll be interesting to see what the rest of you think.  Have fun with that!
