Inquiring Minds Want to Know...

Has this school ever been featured in a Fallout game? And if not, why not?! :)

Though I suppose it's close enough to a Vault that it might be redundant....

Sharing with the Class

Writing class tonight was fun. Sorta. It involved my submission getting strung up for in-depth textual analysis of "don't write like this" by the teacher.

But prior to my crucifixion, she (novelly) had us do a writing exercise. She gave us three topics ("Australia," "Murder Mystery," and "Memoir") and asked us to write the first few opening lines of a book for as many as we cared to do.

Now, earlier I had happened to read seanan_mcguire's entry on it being Australia Day today, so I cribbed most of my few lines from her post and its comments for the first.

( Australia! )

After that, still having about twenty minutes of time to kill until the writing challenge time was up, I pondered the other categories. Memoir... ha, right. I don't like writing about myself (...she proclaims, on her blog...). Murder mysteries are almost equally out of my purview. But the latter I at least took a stab at, and think it turned out interesting.

( Murder Mystery. )

And despite my afterward getting lambasted by the teacher, she (and the rest of the class) very much liked both of those. Not sure if I'll ever do anything with either (especially the Australia one), but I thought some of y'all might also like to read them.
