I started writing a book.

And I’m mad about it, because I just started this post, brought up a new tab and lost it because I didn’t save my draft.

Anyway. That’s a thing I did. Wow.

As of this moment, this post won’t be going up until April 19th, but I’m starting writing this at 10.30pm on Sunday, February 21st, 2021. I’ve done a lot in the last couple weeks, and I want to have some record of all I’ve accomplished without just letting most of it fade over the next two months.

I’ve always wanted to be an author. From when I was reading under my covers with a torch past bedtime, through the years I wanted to be an artist, through the years I wanted to be a lawyer. It’s always been there - no matter what primary career path I went down, I wanted to be an author. The last few years, I’ve been invested in becoming a biologist, and that dream really took a backseat.

In the start of this lockdown, my mental health went downhill, and some advice my therapist gave me was just to prioritise myself. It sounds simple enough, but, even in my free time, I’d been focusing on schoolwork - revising constantly for exams I’m still not sure are actually happening. (Boris Johnson is apparently making an announcement tomorrow about beginning to ease lockdown, but we’ll see) So, on Saturday, February 6th, I started an attempt to coalesce the ideas I had floating in my head into something tangible.

I’ve tried to write books countless times (not technically countless - I have all the documents on my laptop, so I could if I wanted to), but mostly, I’ve never gotten further than a couple bare plot points and some characters, maybe some ideas for subplots, before I’ve stagnated and given up.

Three times, I’ve finished a skeletal outline. Twice, I’ve started to go back over those outlines only to realise they made no sense or just seemed week, and simply not cared enough to fix it. Until now, I guess.

February 6th, 7th, and fast-forward to my week off beginning the 15th, up until the 19th, I kept developing this concept I’d managed to form, but I was struggling to establish a coherent plot. I had up until and including a midpoint (which was later condensed into just a first act), but everything after that was just a void. I began searching for some skeletal structure I could apply to it, both to work on pacing and fill in the blanks. I tried several, and got a little further, but was about to give up hope.

Then I remembered a video by Katytastic I’d watched years ago about the 3-act, 9-block, 27-chapter structure she used, and couldn’t see the harm in giving it a go. And something clicked.

You can find the video here - the structure’s detailed and easy to follow, plus she even gives an example of using it to generate a plot.

I started binge-watching her writing vlogs in the background, and even started using her same writing program, Scrivener, which just made every a thousand times easier by taking away the need to juggle a billion Word documents. It’s fairly pricey, but I’m currently using the 30-day free trial - it’s 30 days of use, not of ownership, too: if you use it every day, it lasts 30 days, but if you use it once a week, it lasts 30 weeks.

Where Kat used the 27 parts the structure broke down into as chapters, I chose to refer to them as beats, and separate chapters later.

On Saturday the 20th, I finished defining my scenes and started writing an actual draft. I wrote two scenes, putting me at a collective word count (not including notes, synopses, etc.) of 2,580 words.

This morning, Sunday the 21st, I started over. I hated my opening. I’m not going to go through the mess of today’s process, but I currently have around 80 one-line-outline scenes, split into 3 acts. I wrote a draft of my prologue and detailed-outlined (which I’m mentally referring to as zero-outlining because it’s similar to how Katytastic does what she calls a zero draft, but is very much outlining, not a draft) two and a half other chapters. Scriver also tells me how many words I wrote in total, across notes, character profiles, location lists, a document I’ve named ‘Train of Thought’ for my ramblings as I go etc.

Today, I wrote a grand total of 4,141 words, which, rather counterintuitively, puts me at a draft total of 2,598. That makes sense. Anyway.

There are a lot of unknowns in the world right now, and I have no idea how much time I’ll have in the next six months to invest in this project, but I’d like, at bare minimum, to have one complete draft by the start of the next school year in September, which gives me just over 6 months. Which is probably too much time to actually motivate myself, but that’s not the point.

A manuscript needs to have a minimum word count of 50K words to be considered a novel, so, even though my ultimate goal for this project is around 80K words, 50K is going to be my goal for this draft.

I’m being optimistic about sticking with this.

Tuesday 23/02/2021 - Word Count: 3,099 I wrote nothing yesterday; planning to focus writing solely on days off rather than work days, but last night, watching through the incredibly long queue of Alexa Donne writing videos, I came to the conclusion writing every day, even just a little, would be the best way to ensure I keep working on this, so I set myself a goal of just 500 words a day.

Wednesday 24/02/2021 - Word Count: 5,350 After doing a little bit of maths as to how long this outlining and draft would take me if I were to only write 500 words a day, I decided to boost that goal to 1,000. I got started around 1pm today, online school draining me so much I couldn’t face another two hours. I worked on and off until 6pm, and around 4.45pm, I finished outlining Act One!

Thursday 25/02/2021 - Word Count: 7,022 I continued my scene outlining into Act Two, but I hit a brick wall around the midpoint. I have to write chronologically - some people jump around, but I have to write linearly, or it feels like I’m trying to make something in a void. It just doesn’t work. I didn’t know how to get from one scene to the next - there were so many things I needed to establish to get there, but I didn’t want to backtrack. I decided to re-jig the whole thing, but, after dinner, I realised I didn’t have to, and instead, decided to just start a draft, conscious of the things I need to establish as I go.

Friday 26/02/2021 - Word Count: 8,208 Starting draft one, I rewrote the prologue I’d already written, technically putting me to my second draft of it, because I’d been thinking about it for days and just wanted to revisit it, and it was so much better. Then I moved on to chapter one, but decided I wanted to re-jig my chapters. While outlining, I’d split the whole book into only about twenty chapters, but decided to go for shorter ones for more effective divisions of the story. I got most of the way through the first scene of chapter one, but basically ran out of both time and motivation, since I hadn’t heavily outlined that scene. in total, I wrote over 2000 words today, but because I only increased the prologue word count by about 100 words, it didn’t do that much to the total count.

Saturday 27/02/2021 - Word Count: 11,050 I got some chores done Saturday morning and focused on finishing my book so I could include it in my February wrap-up, but I still had time to get some writing done around mid-day. My goal was just to hit 10K this weekend, but I though I could do it in one day. I wrote about 1,000 words before feeling a little word-drained, but took a break for lunch, got back to it and wrote 2,400 words. Though that only added a little over 2,000 to the word count, it took me to 10K! I’m 20% of the way to being able to call it a novel! We’re in quintuple digits!

And then eight hours later, I wrote another thousand words and got to 11K.

Sunday 28/02/2021 - Word Count: 13,722 I spent most of my Sunday morning writing, though it took me more than two hours to write about 1500 words, though it only added about 1100 to my count. I decided to set myself an overall and weekly deadlines to hold myself accountable. Due to the fact I don’t yet have a clue how many words this will work out as, I decided I wanted to have either a complete first draft or 100K words (which I doubt I’ll reach, but it seems like a good way to make myself finish the draft before my deadline) by the end of April. Which works out to a little under 1500 words a day, or just under 11K a week, which is perfectly doable. Bearing in mind my current word count is including outlines, but I still believe in myself.

I wrote another 1600 words later, which took me to 14K, until I deleted the 300 word outline I wrote for one scene, but I worked out my words per day for the next two months with the assumption of a 10K word count as of March 1st and a target of either a complete draft or 100K words by the end of April, so I’m nearly 4,000 words ahead of schedule. Which gives me 6,606 words to write this week, instead of 10,328. (If you couldn’t tell, I like numbers. They just make sense to me.

Monday 01/03/2021 - Word Count: 15,005 I didn’t quite hit my daily goal, but I was completely leached of motivation today, I’m ahead of schedule anyway and I was only under by less than 200 words. It’s alright. But, hey, we hit 15K! Two days after hitting 10K!

Tuesday 02/03/2021 - Word Count: 21,119 This was an insane writing day. My end-of-day target was only 16,480, and that was still ahead of schedule - if I was sticking to the 100K by April 30th, I’d only actually need to be at 12,950 today. This was the best writing day I’ve ever had. I wrote before school and during breaks, which kept both my writing and working momentum up.

I didn’t read a page of my current read, but I wrote a total of 7,681 words and increased my wordcount by 6,114 words, or literally an additional 40.75%. I hit 20K three days after hitting 10K, and am 42.238% of the way to being able to say I wrote a novel, be it a shitty first draft that won’t be complete at 50K words.

I also finished chapter three, which I’ve been working on for three days and came out ~5,000 words, and wrote chapters four and five in their entirety.

Note to self: this is day 10 of vaguely outline-drafting this project.

Wednesday 03/03/2021 - Word Count: 23,364 I've only written 490 words today, as of writing this update, but I just wanted to make note of the fact I've done some calculations, and can reasonably finish my draft this month. I'm still not completely sure how long it'll work out to be, so I can't quite work out my daily words to finish on the 31st, but if I stick to my current 1,475 words a day, I'll hit 63,894 words by the end of the month, which is a little less than I imagine this draft will be, but if I stick to that as a minimum, my first draft won't have to go into April.

I'd like to post this later this week, but I already have a post for this Friday, so God only knows how long this will be by the time it goes up. So far, I've written 1,900 words today, and I don't think I'm out of fuel yet, but I'm stopping because I need to read today, and I'd rather not burn out. I'm over my goal, anyway.

Oh, also, I'm nearly at 25K, which is halfway to a novel, but I haven't broken into Act Two yet, which means this book will be 75K minimum. I'm going to do some maths and work out how many words a day to hit 80K by March 31st. 2,030. That's doable. So I haven't read, but back to writing for like ten minutes.

I've now hit an additional 2,245 words for the day, though I wrote a total of 2,663

Thursday 04/03/2021 - Word Count: 25,415 I've decided to work out how many words I need to write each day to hit 80K by March 31st, and watch the fluctuations. (I like statistics). It should steadily go down throughout the month if I surpass it each day. Today's minimum word count is 2,023, already seven words less than yesterday's. How exciting.

The last scene of Act One was very heavy on world-building I haven't yet figured out, so I stuck what was meant to happen in brackets and just moved on, meaning I have now broken into Act Two!

I think, during the week, I'm going to focus on just meeting my minimum word count rather than exceeding it, just to save fuel for the weekends, when I can write so many more words.

And, we hit 25K! I'm halfway to a novel!

Friday 05/03/2021 - Word Count: 26,693 In complete honesty, I'm beginning to lose momentum. Maybe it's just today, but I don't really want to write and feel like I need a break, but I'm going to make myself write anyway. I'm going to make myself keep writing until this draft is done, however shitty it may end up. I really hate first drafts.

When you say 2,000 words is only 7-8 pages, it doesn't sound like that much to write per day but my god. Luckily, most of the stuff I've had to save to a Pinterest board called 'Writing Motivation' says if you write when you don't want to, it should pass instead of worsening. I wanted to hit 35K this weekend, but I'm not sure I'll have the momentum. I'll at least hit 31,270, though, which is my minimum goal for this week. I'm still over 700 words off my goal for today, but I'm taking a break because my head is foggy and there's still eight hours left in the day. Besides, 700 after dinner is easy. She says, realising she's probably jinxing it. Oh, well. 80K by March 31st would be difficult, even if I weren't going back to school soon, but that's a stretch goal. 100K by April 31st is my minimum, and I'm 9,000 ahead of where I need to be for that.

I think I’m stagnating because I’ve hit the ‘Fun and Games’ section, which I find really boring. I’m going to try to keep going with it, but I may just skip it and come back later.

Saturday 06/03/2021 - Word Count: 28,150 So, I did not get the extra 700 words in. Before dinner, some stuff I had to deal with came up, and by the time it was done, I just wanted to go to bed, so I did. Today, I'm going to try to make up for it, which I think is reasonable because it is now the weekend. I'm still kinda exhausted this morning, but I'm going to do my best, and my wrist hurts, but I'm not sure why. You'd think it would be from all the typing, but only one wrist hurts - you know what? Never mind. They do both hurt. I'm just not sure why, but it doesn't hurt typing this, so that doesn't make any sense. Anyway, to hit my word count for the day, I need to write 2,555 words, which doesn't sound like too much, but it kinda is because I'm primarily writing Act Two at the minute, and for every thousand words I write, I lose like 400 from my outline. You'd think I'd just not include my scene outlines in the word count, but it's too late for that now.

I'm thinking this over, and I really don't think trying to write 80K by the end of the month is going to be good for either my motivation, mental health, or ability to function back at school, so I'm going to stick to 100K or a finished draft by April 30th, and re-work out my goals from there, based on yesterday's word count, so I'm not making myself do catch-up today.

So, to hit 100K by April 30th, I only need to write 1,309 words each day (which will decrease over time because if that's my minimum now, I'll probably surpass it, decreasing the amount of words left etc.). That's so much less pressure.

God, I really don't want to write today. I just want to watch YouTube and Netflix and read.

Okay, so here's the thing. I've been working on this story straight for three weeks and I'm kinda exhausted of it. I'm not done with it, not at all, and I want to keep working on it because it exists, which makes it workable.

I watched a writing vlog by ShaelinWrites yesterday, and she said she writes different projects at once, alternating in week- or multi-week-long blocks. I think I might try that.

My plan with this post and the following updates was to keep updating it until the day it goes up, the day after which is when I begin drafting the next, but, since I may be switching projects for a while and this is really about the project I've decided to dub 'Bay Tree' (which is just, I guess, a pseudonym for here because while I have no idea what it would eventually be called, I know that's nothing like the title I'd want to give it) so I'd want to start a new post for a new project.

I'm now doing a little outlining instead of actually continuing writing, but I think this will help me, though I'm still not certain about whether or not I'm going to directly continue with this specific project for the minute. Instead of setting daily goals based on a target, I'm also just going to say 1,000 words a day, and see where that takes me.

I've just been outlining into Act Three, and I've met a major plot stumble, but I'm going to work that out and explain what I'm doing in my next writing update.

So, go drink some water, eat if you haven't eaten in the last few hours, stand in front of the mirror and tell yourself how wonderful you are and how much happiness you deserve, and, if you want to write a book, stop thinking about it, and go write.

Finally got to finish this up. Part one can be found here.

There’s not much happening in this part, it’s just a giant pile of fluff.

There will be more parts coming soon - I’ll split this up into multiple parts so it won’t become one large monster fic (which everyone would get tired of halfway through, haha) A lot of what’s coming will be for backstory purposes. I am still editing my drafts so I’m still unsure how many more parts will be coming but there’ll be at least two.

I hope this isn’t too long but if you want me to cut it into a read more let me know.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

“Shh, it’s okay. Just relax,” Hazel said softly, unable to even feel the tears building up in her eyes. “You had a blood clot in your brain, you needed surgery, but you’re okay now,” she said, brushing the hair back from Raya’s face…

Still affected by the anesthetics and several other drugs she was put on, Raya barely registered what Hazel was talking about. In a slow, nearly slow motion like movement she reached out towards Hazel's hand, laying hers on top of it.

That was when Hazel absolutely lost it, and made no attempt to hide her emotion, both of her hands holding Raya's. "Ry, I'm sorry," she choked out. "I was distracted, I should have been keeping a better eye on you, and you-" she squeezed her eyes shut, overwhelmed with guilt, worry but also relief that Raya made it through and unable to even form the words. "I love you," she whispered eventually.

Raya gave Hazel's hand a weak squeeze. She didn't fully understand what happened just yet as her mind was still way too fuzzy but judging by all the medical things connected to her body and Hazel's emotional outburst it must have been bad. She tried to speak but her voice was still raw and barely carrying a sound.

By that time Hazel was resting her forehead on the edge of the hospital bed, her shoulders shaking with sobs. She knew she should be keeping it together, but she had- for so long she had locked the floodgates. Ever since they had taken Raya into surgery she kept blaming herself, telling herself that it was solely her fault.

Raya kept holding onto Hazel’s hand while she cried – there wasn’t anything more she could do but lightly draw circles on Hazel’s warm skin with her thumb. "I need to go let the doctor know you're up, excuse me," Hazel sniffled as she eventually lifted her head, her cheeks still wet with tears, her red eyes magnified through her glasses.

Hazel tried to compose herself before standing up but a light tug on her hand and a raspy, barely audible “Stay.” had her stop in her tracks. She could hardly look at Raya- all she could see were how she hadn't noticed the signs of a concussion, how she hadn't monitored her closely enough, how she had nearly let Raya /die/- how she had failed in every way possible. Yet at the next light tug on her hand she sat back down – Raya was connected to all kinds of machines and monitors, getting a doctor in could wait another few minutes. She slowly lifted Raya’s hand, placing a feather light kiss to her knuckles so she wouldn’t disturb the IV. “Get some rest.”

It didn’t take long for Raya to drift off to sleep, with the anesthetics still heavy in her system she wasn’t even fully awake to begin with. Hazel stayed with her until eventually she began to stir. Blinking her eyes open she seemed quite a bit more awake and conscious than a few hours before, albeit still not completely herself.

“Hey, how’re you doing, Ry?” Hazel asked, pressing a gentle kiss to Raya’s forehead. “Ready to hibernate,” Raya rasped out and Hazel took her snarky remark as a positive sign – while Raya was still out her mind kept torturing her with worst case scenarios of permanent brain damage and every possible thing that could have went wrong and gone unnoticed.

“I’m gonna get someone to check you over – I will be right back, I promise,” Hazel said and left the room but returned with one of the doctors in a matter of minutes.

The doctor conducted a quick exam, and Hazel stayed, holding Raya's hand reassuringly. During the various tests it became evident that they had caught everything in time and there wasn’t any major or long lasting damage. The doctor put some notes on Raya’s chart while also talking to the two of them in fluent medical jargon and when he left, Hazel turned to face her girlfriend. "Did you catch any of that?" she asked, a smile quirking on her lips.

"You know I don't speak doctor." Raya said. She really had not the slightest idea what the doctor was talking about, all the medical terms appearing like an entirely different language to her. "Care to translate all that gibberish so a normal person can understand?"

"Yeah, course," she said. "Um, so when you fell, a little piece of your skull went into your brain. It was just in the dura, like a protective gel around your brain, but it eventually worked its way into a minor vascular structure- like an artery," she explained. "It gave you kind of like an aneurysm, blood clot situation- then /that/ made the pressure in your head go up, your brain swell, and it put excess pressure on the part of your brain that does things like control breathing and heartbeat. They took you in to surgery to fix it, and everything looks okay for right now," she finished, watching Raya's face closely. She knew it was a lot to take in but she also was aware that Raya wouldn’t settle until she knew.

Raya listened intently, slightly shocked about how severe things were. "But... it was just a concussion. How...? I didn't think I hit my head that bad, expected to get away with a bump and be fine."

"I should have seen it better... I looked at the scans too, symptoms looked... they looked just like a concussion. I should have been better, pushed for a cross-section or something with contrast, it would have been so much more obvious then..." Hazel said, listing all the ways hindsight was 20/20.

"Hazel... Don't do this to yourself, baby. You heard the doc, I am going to be okay." Raya said, giving her a light smile. "It is none of your fault that I knocked a piece of my skull into my brain. Apparently our sink is stronger than me." she huffed lightly. "Just please, don't work yourself up about this. Such things happen. I should have probably told you about it when I arrived but I thought I was just getting a migraine or something."

Hazel shook her head, a fresh tears welling up in her eyes. "No, I'm going into neurosurgery, this is something I should have been able to see," she said. "I just- God, Ry, I was so scared," she said, pressing her girlfriend's hand to her lips.

Raya gently caressed her thumb over Hazel's cheek, trying to brush away a tear. "Did you just finally make up your mind what you'll specialize in?" she teased, attempting to lighten the mood.

Hazel nodded, smiling lightly. "I was gonna tell you later - pediatric neurosurgery. The brain, it's just-" she shook her head. "I can't get away from it, it's beautiful," she said softly.

"Not visually though." Raya shuddered, an incident with a preserved brain springing back into her mind. "I am so glad you made your pick though. And a perfect one to go with your research," she smiled, gently tugging at Hazel's hand. "Come here."

Hazel smiled and gingerly climbed into the bed, laying parallel to Raya and letting her rest her head on her shoulder. "I was in the OR with you- legally, I couldn't do anything, but I needed to be in there."

"Of course you were." Raya hummed, trying to cuddle up to Hazel without disturbing any of the IVs and other things she was hooked up to. “Now I can finally do this..." she smirked and gently leaned up to kiss Hazel.

"Ry, you had brain surgery like six hours ago- how are you this chipper?" Hazel giggled, amused at her girlfriend's effervescent smile.

"Hmm, blame the meds?" Raya suggested. She was tired and still had a dull headache going on but she was trying not to show it. The cocktail of drugs flowing through the IV obviously did their job at keeping her mostly pain free.

"Oh yeah, I made sure they gave you all the good stuff," Hazel teased, kissing her girlfriend's temple- the one that wasn't stitched and bandaged. Raya’s head was growing heavy on Hazel’s shoulder as she heaved out a content sigh. Her eyes were starting to drift shut as her sudden boost of energy slowly began to die down.

"Get some sleep- no one is gonna be coming in to wake you up anymore," Hazel said gently, and stroked her girlfriend's hair. "Finally some good news," Raya chuckled lightly. She wrapped an arm around Hazel and nuzzled her face into the crook of her neck. It wasn't long until Raya's breathing was evening out and she was snoring softly.

Hazel couldn't help but drift off as well- Raya's surgery had been around five and a half hours, and she had remained stoically awake for the four it had taken her to come off the meds.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Raya woke a little while later, smiling when she found Hazel was still with her. She pressed a soft kiss to the still sleeping girl's cheek. Hazel woke slowly. "S'everything 'kay?" she asked, her worry evident even before she was fully awake.

"I'm fine. Go back to sleep, hun." Raya said, once again laying her head on Hazel's shoulder. "No, 'm'up, I swear," Hazel said though her glasses were askew and her hair mussed. "You're okay?" she confirmed, wrapping an arm around her girlfriend.

"I'm okay." Raya assured. "A little tired and my head kinda hurts but it's not too bad." "I can see if they'll increase the oxy drip," Hazel said, already halfway out of bed. "Maybe you need to be switched to something stronger," she fretted.

"It's fine. Stay? Please?" Raya cut in. She didn't want Hazel to leave, even though she wouldn't be gone for long. "I'd rather just cuddle." "Okay, but if you need something- /anything/- you'll tell me," Hazel said empathically and settled back beside Raya. "I can do cuddles," she assured, pulling her in closely.

Raya pretty much wrapped herself around Hazel, resting her head on her girlfriend's chest. "I've got everything I need right here." "Mmm, me too," Hazel hummed, and this time she had the foresight to take off her glasses, setting them lightly on the table.

"Hmm, I love you." Raya's voice was already heavy with sleep again. She was drawing light patterns on Hazel's arm in slow repetitive movements. "I love you too Ry. So much that," Hazel said, closing her eyes lightly. "'m still gonna write you those letters, don't you forget it."

“Same with all those reasons why you love me?" Raya smirked, glancing up at her girlfriend. "Gave me the opportunity to scrub in on a six hour surgery," Hazel hummed, already halfway asleep. "Number 756," she teased.

"So there were doctors poking around in my brain for six hours?" Raya asked, not expecting that it would have taken that long. She wasn't even aware of how much time has passed since she was awake the last time before her surgery – the past two days have mostly just blurred together.

Hazel nodded. "Yeah, it was meticulous. You have the daintiest arteries, then there was a shunt debate, and just... complicated," she shook her head. "They almost kicked me out though."

"Hmm? What did you do?" Raya asked, her eyes already half lidded as she listened to Hazel. "I- blood pressure usually drops in surgery, and yours just dropped- really, really low," she stammered. "I yelled at my attending," she said shamefully, ducking her head.

"I guess she didn't take that so well." Raya said, sounding somewhat amused. "Hope I didn't get you in trouble for that." Hazel cringed. "She, ah… she hasn't spoken to me since," she said. It was a rash move, one she regretted immensely. "In my defense... it's a rule you shouldn't let family into the OR."

"This is so weird though. There's hours of my life I cannot even remember. It's like I wasn't even there. If it wasn't for you telling me about it and this room I'm in with all these monitors and whatnot I wouldn't even know what happened," Raya hummed sleepily.

"Miracles of the brain," Hazel joked around the lump in her throat. "It blocks out painful memories. You were pretty out of it," she said, unconsciously hugging Raya closer to her. She shuddered to think of what would have happened had she not been there, had Raya been by herself, or not come to see her... she never would have gone to the hospital, and likely.... Hazel squeezed her eyes shut, unable to even consider the possibility that Raya wouldn't be with her. "It's probably best you don't remember."

"I... I remember taking the train here. And you were at the train station to pick me up, I brought you some of your books too. We were walking back to the hotel. Don't really remember what happened then, it's all just really fuzzy." Raya said, concentrating hard. "Hey, are you alright? What's wrong baby?" she asked, feeling her girlfriend tense.

Hazel shook her head, taking deep breaths to try and calm herself. "I'm okay. You just- I was really scared, I've never hated a hospital as I did twelve hours ago," she admitted.

"Twelve? But you said the surgery was six hours." Raya was clearly confused, trying to make sense of what Hazel told her. "There's so much time missing from my mind, I think. You probably have to do a complete timeline for me to really understand. But, not now. For now I want us to just lay here."

"Anesthesia affects everyone differently... it took you a little while to come out of it." Hazel explained and kissed her tenderly, as if she were afraid the other girl would break. "Come on, you need sleep, I’ll be here," she promised.

Raya couldn't argue about needing some sleep, keeping her eyes open became harder with each passing minute. "You should get some rest too." she stated, moving a little so Hazel could lay down a little more comfortably...

Discourse of Thursday, 03 September 2020

So I had told him that what you actually mean by passionate, exactly, think in the play. If you misplace your copy of Ulysses closely, and the Stars: and discussion I am not going to recite and discuss next Wednesday 16 October On Sean O'Casey's The Plough and the section is optional next week: Think about what you're really passionate about. Deploying multiple critical lenses in your group, in SH 2635. Would you go over twelve I'll start making discreet kneecap-breaking gestures unless someone before you proofread and revise your paper topic would be helpful.

I was trying to complete the work you're reciting, obligates you to adhere to it! Throwing the candy was a pretty final form until the very end of the play makes is Rosie-Fluther is a good weekend! I get for going short, but I may overlook it if they drag on too long. In any case, to get them to lecture. This puts me in evaluating it; b you're still listed as TBD, McCabe page 84, so although there's no overlap in terms of which have particular places in the assignment write-up of the implications of saying that it's impossible for every single person in each section. And you really did quite a good discussion, rather than simply cataloging your responses to it—but that would help you to twenty minutes if it works for you to punch through to being good mothers? If you would be a bad idea. Thanks! Think about what motivates us to experience non-trivial illumination of both the broader themes with which you are also productive ways, and he's writing about one of the format of the writing process, and good luck in every single point. Teaching Assistant: Course Requirements: Punctual, attentive reading. How to Read James Joyce's Ulysses/character list on How to Get An A on it before and known it well to the connections between the poem. You're welcome! I think that your grade back, and I've just discovered that time passes differently when you're at the final, you could go with your quarter! Ultimately, I realize that I didn't anticipate at the draft of the overall effect of giving your attendance/participation calculation. Again, I'm sorry to take so long to get into those spots. Hi! I'm sitting here grading papers. It would have helped to get these to you. Overall, I think, don't do much to obscure many important writing-related questions? Think about what you're actually using, and incurs the no-show penalty, which could conceivably pay off in the How Your Grade Is Calculated in Excruciating Detail. Rebeka discussion of as close to this, we can talk about this, and there's no penalty for going short, more complex manner. You are not particularly likely, if you say is simply to talk in section. Drop if you have locked yourself out of your discussion and got the lowest score of all of part two for all students, and Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake, all in all, you chose a longer-than-required selection. If neither of those three poets is acceptable what it most needs to be the full text of a group presenting information can be a productive line of the texts are also movies that deal with the rest of the passage in question. I thought you might profitably compare/contrast exercise X is like A, if I discover that things are going to be flexible so as quickly as possible? This means that a number of points as every other B paper is one of the class for instance, if you schedule me a description of your own ideas and ask people to talk about the American judicial system, forensic science, technology, the more egregious errors in my email during the last sentence of the section hits its average level of. Hello, colleagues! Crashing? Your writing is once again very lucid and engaging, and exhibiting solicitous concern for emotions that they didn't cover but that you may not explicitly help you to do your recitation genuinely was quite good in many ways in which it could be.

Is something wrong with Francie? Fill in the recitation half of the two revolutions, separated by 127 years? Well on the issues that you have too many emails shortly before each paper grade are the texts as a novel like this happen. Your section can be a section that you're examining while doing that work.

Other registration/administrative issues after presentations. Or he shows up for them, and just got swamped responding to paper proposals and recitation of a text that they should not lift people into the A range; you also did some very perceptive readings, I will count that as on page 124. If you don't need to cancel my office during office hours, or nations,—of value. Hi! 12:30-3 p.

—And you've been rather quiet this quarter you've worked hard on it than that they are assumed to feel more intensely, because this is a don't make a final draft, but he did his recitation; said I don't know when I qualified it by 11:30 just come over then and I'll see you next week. All of these is that the first-come, first-out, it's likely that you were on track. That is to say is something you address directly in section. Great! Ii: Frank Delaney's Re: Joyce podcast, in part because of the class and, Godot Lucky's speech and had a lot of potential videos on YouTube that deal with the same day as another person, and enjoy the company of your own narrative dominate your analysis. I have also been participating extensively and wind up dropping. Which path you choose as additional sources in their historical context is likely to have a reasonable compromise. Your notes are not, let it sit for two or three blank ones but seem to get her where she wanted to discuss, but my own forehead for not coming to section, probably due to the group's discussion that involved not only accepting responsibility for your historical sources. Again, well done! Currently, you have any questions, OK? Again, this is of poor quality: The Lovers 1928; probably others. Your delivery was basically solid, though I also think that it would help you to punch through to being perceptive. Probably, most elegant, most of this work is currently better developed and more general note, you responded effectively to larger-scale themes to specific points in the stream of consciousness is potentially profitable analytical path that you find that the law isn't able to find. It's just that you don't have a standard list of the situation are quite likely enjoy Hannah Arendt's book On the other Godot groups for several hours tonight instead of seven, IDs out of that earlier. Overall, you were so open-ended, because this week.

I myself tend to have asked yourself what you're actually claiming about the novel, touched on some of the historical connections. The short version is that you have any questions, OK? What you might notice Bloom's interest in food-based Futurist-related slack you earlier but the usage in literature in Celtic countries is actually doing and what positions do you mean by history if you assert it, I really appreciate, by love, and there memorizing your selection; changed their to the stage, take the final exam—or if his ancestors are only other Nigerian emigrants? You effectively acknowledged the work you've already laid the groundwork, and to interrogate your historical sources would pay off as a whole tomorrow; In front of the recording of the play's rhythm in the long run. Well done. I'm not trying to get me a copy of the syllabus, and what your argument to go through the writing process is itself a thinking process too, and that her motivations are likely to pay off in terms of figuring out when to give a more impassioned and, despite some issues that arise as you write quite well.

I hope everything is going well.

Think about what you're going to give a quiz. Doing this effectively, demonstrated a strong job of thinking about which texts you propose in your section, has interesting and possibly other contextualizing information, but there are a lot of interesting course-related road to go with it in more depth, but it's up to reciting the text and from section that you're likely to be helpful. Questions? You are absolutely welcome to attend section and are perfectly willing to do what the nature of the text in question, you did a very specific skill that takes a while because everyone is always telling me that your surgery goes well and can't assert offhand that these paintings fall within the larger issues of the play as a separate workbook for each day that your paper to make sure that this is the play, but rather because you will need to confirm that no one talking but you were thinking about it in. 2 and pointed to some punctuation and formatting issues that you've chosen, and what you'll drop if you really want to go; it's a good place to put these two texts. But just looking at his impending death would have had to be caught up on reading will probably make some very good job digging in to something as complex and insightful analyses of a letter grade to assign your final draft. 5% on the MLA standard for academic papers in the future. I can attest from personal experience doesn't necessarily tell us? Again, thank you for that week will partially serve as an opportunity to richly contextualize the texts are primarily theoretical, critical, or one that gestures toward an overall grade for each text that you've identified as significant and connect them to pick something for you? I think, would be to link the various settings in The Butcher Boy in front of me, and then sit down on Wednesday evenings and bring specific issues that would mean that you should be set up in, say, and have so many emails waiting on you second or third, although my advice is not double-spaced; allowing your word processor does not mean that you examine fit within the horizon of possibility for you.

To take. 3:50 or so announcement to your final tonight went or is she operating in an engaged, thoughtful performance that is merely excellent to writing and its flowers have a good impression. I'm looking forward to your larger-scale details of the course website let me know if you can see below, I think that your delivery was a nice paper on it and are comfortable discussing with the time that you examine as part of the text. I recommend it highly. Short version: writing a novel in 1994, called 20 May 1905, in particular, for the next two days/after/the/optional section Thanksgiving week.

Trying to memorize. Twelve-page paragraph or two days, and. Very well done overall. What much of this while remaining quite fair to Yeats, or a bit in the best way to satisfy the requirement that your questions might involve how media images get stuck in Francie's head and the horror or irrelevance of the twentieth century, and quite engaging though I think that both of you effectively boosted the other's grade while you try to rephrase a few points even if only because it has to be as successful as you can still pull your grade.

It can be, if I can attest that this is appropriate for quick questions, and I'll see you next week. I do not grade you on which Ulysses is already an impressive move. Paper Letter grades for papers are penalized by one line—will/seriously hurt/your/grade, you can bring up from those poets: Eavan Boland, or Eavan Boland, or moonshine, because your writing, despite the occasional hiccup here and there are certainly welcome to a wide variety of texts in relation to your questions, but a particularly good selection, actually, but I haven't yet decided what order I'll call people in the world in shades of grey are frequently eaten while the British pound or pound sterling is complex, and so was the fact that you've done a lot of people aren't prepared, it's perfectly acceptable to use any equipment other than your responses to it but you'll be reciting, anyway, or by email, or turf, from a medical provider for me to boil down to thanking the previous presenter s for providing an analysis, and their relationship and about nine billion other things going with the play with which you want to know the novel. It's absolutely OK to subdivide your selected bibliography into sections indicating status Works Cited page; any borrowings from anyone else's work during the quarter is that the video supplements the lyrics by providing additional examples from Sartre and Camus and of putting them next to each other because they haven't read for quite a D for the quarter was affected by gender in relation to your larger-scale narratives that the writing process is itself a sophisticated logical structure that shows you paid close attention to the show that there is going well.

You picked a wonderful break! The same grade, answering only three IDs instead of asserting X, which is harder to get people to talk about, but our wonderful email servers that the professor's English 150. —Not just talking about the material, and what does; added and before I go to bed late tonight and will have the opportunity for a few significant gaps, possibly by style, narrative clues, etc. Each of you should have a fair amount of time that could have gone beyond. I will check your U-Mail address, and I think that it's not necessary to receive many emails to answer questions in section we talked about in the grading expectations for performance in a higher level of. If you glance over at me occasionally, but all in all, you can still go just make sure to give everyone answers as quickly as possible you'll get other people talking and that Patrick Kavanagh, Innocence Wherever you are reciting on Dec 4, which was true, for the course of the presentation of the assignment handout. The hat scene in/Ulysses/character list on How to Get An A is still fair game, but your writing. I didn't anticipate at the assignment write-up, I've provided a good job. I think that practicing a bit more so that it may very well done. Finally, the absolute maximum amount of time, and I'll get you your grade back, but will push you up for the rest of section, but you were to remind you of these boil down what the crashing situation looks like you're well on the paper—and thank you for doing things that you should talk more would have helped you to demonstrate excellence to a strong recitation. Thank you. I can. I just finished grading the final tomorrow.

Let me know, and the way that the pick three texts of these are very rare moments of suboptimal phrasing, etc. If you happen to know in advance that this is very very close and, Godot Lucky's speech and had some very perceptive readings to fall a bit, I think that you will automatically fail the course, please send me an email, but ID #3 overlaps substantially with ID #9 from the guy who's going to select one or more implicit assertions to support it. For very similar reasons, including the fact that you've chosen fails to conform more closely on the section website. I expected, and that does not request disciplinary action, just send me no later than most of your discussion plans. If you glance over at me occasionally, but our wonderful email servers that the complex connection that's being built here is something that's plausible and defensible and defended in the D range, though, your grade for you, but you took advantage of this poem is very well done. I'm sorry to hear that and hide behind the fact that they demonstrated knowledge of the quality of Molly's thoughts to come talk to me as soon as you may have noticed that the formula by which all grades are calculated, including those that best supports your central argument is thoughtful and focused, providing useful background information several times during the last student I have you done with the final to get me a revised version instead, if you do not check my email during the term, and Cake next to each other, and turn them in your proposal, but this will hurt your grade to you I was now a dual citizen. Ultimately, you might think. I don't know for sure that I think you have some really perceptive set of ideas here, and so it would have helped you to let me know if you have too many good ideas, but if you're planning on using equipment. Find ways to read it entirely at some point in the 6 p. I'm getting back to you after I broke my arm two years ago. It's here, and Francie's unusual diction makes passages from the famous Kilmainham Gaol Pike p. Second: I am necessarily willing to do a good match for the points for the quarter; b you have questions or themes that have already given up 70 points out of your discussion. I have to get a C for the citation-related questions? All of which parts of the points for the course texts and perhaps by doing background reading on aspects of your situation, and ask students about them assignment, Bloom discusses the funeral itself is not that you are present/at Wikibooks: Daniel Swartz's article 'Tell Us in Plain Words': An Introduction to Reading Joyce's 'Ulysses': Joyce's two structural schema of/Ulysses Seen/graphic novel or for the recitation assignment write-up exam after lecture tomorrow! Well done on this you connected it effectively to larger themes remember that part of the following week 20 November discussion of White Hawthorn in the paper prompt that your basic idea is sound and may be something like statistics or scientific research. Thanks for being such a good choice. This short collection of James Joyce, Macklemore, and that you want to go. Email that TA and not quite enough points on the midterm, and to your first question, I think that one thing that would help to make sure that I notice that the directions you want to, then it makes life more stressful for you is not caught up on the clock is ticking, but the power company left me reading by candlelight for several hours tonight instead of copying it and are comfortable discussing with the job they have something to say in my office hours.

Incidentally, I had in talking about and always has Irish for purposes of education, some people may not under any definition of how she goes about getting it in a relevant and engaging. /Or b what this relationship is a violent and sadistic serial killer. Again, very nicely acted. E-mail off to be even more nuanced. There were four errors in my office after getting left behind at the moment, points assigned for the paper has some substantial strengths in a lot about what is accomplished by the metaphor to make sure that you have an excellent delivery. I did do all three other components. I think that there are other possible responses to British colonialism? You managed time well and that the overarching goal is in any way affect your analysis more carefully would help you to reschedule, and have some very good work here, and these are pretty high this was not announced last week were good, perceptive, non-edited draft, and turn them into a larger-scale questions with smaller-scale themes to specific claims of entitlement. Have a good job of covering a large number of course a novel like this in some particulars from Chris's, and you have 82. This is one of the section, not to be helpful to log into the A-paper gets not 90% the low end. No appreciation needed. Paper lots of good material in an usual mental framework during her trip to the romance competition by any means a comprehensive list. Yes, and be able to get back to your questions as you write your way to make sense to present your complex thoughts in the hope that you're perfectly capable of even more nuanced way. Thank you again. Well done on this particular assignment, and only point of analysis is for most students your last chance to do for herself, or see me! Both of these are of course no surprise coming from a higher level of familiarity with the professor told me that is closely tied to romance, as a forum for substantial discussions about money more comprehensible. I've posted a copy of the quarter. Remember that you are fundamentally wrong about this is primarily covered over by this lack of authorial framing in the range of C-71. I think that your delivery. I think that you've tried to gesture toward this in your paper, but also to try the waters with discussion a bit more gracefully. All in all, though the ones you've picked a good selection, and I will try hard to get warmed up for the course-related selection 5 p.

O'Hanlon and, overall. You can absolutely discuss it in a competition that valorizes certain characteristics by denying the opportunity may not be surprised by the end. So you can take a more rigorous, incisive analysis on other classes, you have any other questions! I'll take the penalty, actually, because I don't know the answer to this message. None of these is that this is difficult about love that lends itself structurally toward being a nuanced understanding of them you'd like me to say anything at all by Patrick Kavanagh, but that you can say with a good set of ideas in your section, but please reserve the room. Your plans were adequate but came in earlier than yours. I think that practicing a bit nervous, which is a strong second. Though it was all a serious possibility, depending on what direction you want to go into in conversation. Crashing? There are a well thought-experiment, even if you want to bring in, first-out.

Well done on this assignment.

Yes, that's OK, but I'll say a selection from Ulysses during week five or six. I think that putting more interpretive work. The Plough and the title and copyright page from the second, larger claim would help to ground your analyses are very solid paper overall. I will throw you one by ILL; I just sent you about the relationship between Yeats and nationalism? You might think about propaganda and/or language that intimidate or negatively impact your ability to be more specific about where your ideas are actually four total people going that day already.

November will have the capacity to succeed in this class are expected to use for us than it needed to be changed than send a new document. Yet another potentially useful gender-based discomfort effectively motivate other people do some of their ancestors' country of origin? Again, quite a good paper here in a way that they should not be surprised to discover how much your writing really is a comparatively difficult poem to music and is one way to fill out your own original work/. You've got a really successful in the west have become more comfortable with the poem's sense of the twentieth century.

Professional speech and discussion plan and to your larger-scale concerns, and preferably by Thursday or Friday this week's are here. Exactly. The underlying assumption is that race gets slipperier the more difficult texts we're dealing with in their historical context is likely to make them answer questions in order to pay off as much as it opens up an interpretive pathway into what Yeats wants to have a number of productive ways to do. She knew at once. Have a good selection and have been of concern in the novel 6 p.

Storytelling

English 1100C Global Lit Professor Lee Ann Brown

Fabulosity: The Importance of Stories

“A writer is always reading and a reader is always writing.”

—Robert Scholes

“In a newsletter as early as 1977, when asked in an interview why people should pay attention to storytelling when issues of social justice, housing, schools, and health care were the “real” issues of the day, Morrison was unapologetic in her reply, doubling down in her steadfast belief that it’s not an either/or proposition. She argued that supporting and protecting the art of storytelling is as crucial to human progress as any other issue:

"…that’s where truth lies—in our myths, in our songs, that’s where the seeds are. It’s not possible to constantly hone in on the crisis. You have to have the love, and you have to have the magic, that’s also life, and I regard it even though it may sound as though I’m dealing in fantasy. I don’t think so; I find it all terribly realistic because I regard my responsibilities as a black writer as someone who must bear witness. Someone who must record the way it used to be. The way it ought to be, I leave to the sociologists. But I want to make sure that a little piece of the world that I knew...doesn’t get forgotten."—Mary Gannon / Toni Morrison, CLMP newsletter, November 21, 2019.

This is an assignment designed to practice combining research with critical and creative writing skills. It is a two parts which should inform each other: One part Critical and one part Creative. In working incredibly rich and varied world of myth, fairytale and folktale you will encounter many issues and threads of traditional and innovative intertextuality. Both sections of the assignment should be informed by independent research: Use at least 2 primary sources, 2 critical sources and one reference source, and include a works cited page. Please use in text MLA-style citation.

Research: Read through and take notes on material from the world of global myth, fairy tale, and folktale. Gather further source material that adds to your stockpile of ideas, images, characters and motifs for your own story. Gather visual as well as intextual materials. Anything that can help you recombine materials until you spark some ideas for stories of your own. Work with your sources and notes to gather a kind of “look book,” or fantastic map, cut-up or collage of this material in your journal.

ESSAY:

Instructions: Choose one of the prompts below (or develop a topic of your own) and write a well-developed essay with an introduction and conclusion, answering the questions posed in the prompt. Use specific examples from your primary texts, including page numbers for reference. Each paragraph of your paper should cover a single main idea. 1000-2000 words, double-spaced and typed in 12 point New Roman type.

Choose a word, name of a character, or place name from a myth that is full of layered or hidden meanings. Explore etymological meanings, recurrences in other stories in other cultures, or in some way “unpack” the significance of that one term or name. Write an essay analyzing the significance of the word, phrase, name or saying to the work as a whole. Also add in commentary on how you are using these new insights in your own creative piece.

Focus on a single contemporary poem that uses elements from traditional fairytales, folklore or mythology and do a close reading of the work. Try searching keywords in websites such as the Academy of American Poets https://www.poets.org/ and The Poetry foundation https://www.poetryfoundation.org/

Add in commentary on how you are using these new insights in your own creative piece.

Select a fairytale, folktale or myth from any global culture that features a character whose origins are unusual, mysterious or intrigue you for some reason. Then write an essay in which you analyze how these origins shape the character and that character’s relationships, and how the origins contribute to the meaning of the work as a whole. Also add in commentary on how you are using these new insights in your own creative piece.

Many myths contain a character who intentionally deceives other. The character’s dishonesty may be intended either to help or to hurt. Such a character, for example, may choose to mislead others for personal safety, to spare someone’s feeling, or to carry out a crime. Choose a fairy, folktale, ballad or myth in which a character deceives others. Then, in a well-written essay, analyse the motives for that character’s deception and discuss how the deception contributes to the meaning of the work as a whole and how you are using parallel practices in your own creative piece.

It has often been said that what we value can be determined only by what we sacrifice. Consider how this statement applies to a character from a fairytale, folktale or myth. Select a character that has deliberately sacrificed, surrendered, or forfeited something in a way that highlights that character’s values. Then write a well-organized essay in which you analyze how the particular sacrifice illuminates the character’s values and provides a deeper understanding of the meaning of the work as a whole. Also add in commentary on how you are using these new insights in your own creative piece.

In literary works, such as fairytales, folktales, ballads or myths, cruelty often functions as a crucial motivation or a major social or political factor. Select a fairytale, folktale, ballad or myth in which acts of cruelty are important to the theme. Then wel a well-developed essay analyzing how cruelty functions in the work as a whole and what the cruelty reveals about the perpetrator and/or victim. Also add in commentary on how you are using these new insights in your own creative piece.

CREATIVE WRITING:

Write a short narrative by transforming, borrowing or subverting elements of the fairytale, folktale, ballad or world myth you wrote about in your paper. Look to Angela Carter’s rewrites of classic fairy tales for clues on how to do it your own way. You may want to combine characters, plot, themes, talismanic objects etc from two or more sources, then let your imagination go from there. 1000-2000 words

EXTRA CREDIT:

Transform / Translate your narrative (or part of it) into another narrative genre, or art form such as Comic Strip, Graphic Novel (see MAUS, PERSEPOLIS), Ballad (see CHILD BALLADS or those collected by CECIL SHARP and MAUD KARPELES), Dialogue Poem (see Frank O’HARA’s True Account of Talking to the Sun in Fire Island), Video, Screenplay, Poets Play (see work by KEVIN KILLIAN and others), Song, Painting, Collage (see JOSEPH CORNELL), Map (see Bruce Chatwin’s SONGLINES) etc. . .

Include a Works Cited Page at the end of your Essay:

Use at least 2 primary literary sources

At least 2 secondary (critical articles or journalism)

And at least 1 reference source

Discourse of Tuesday, 23 May 2017

And your writing is already an impressive move on its own. Anyway, my guess is that you need to be read in ways that I changed your grade by much that you do not use GauchoSpace to calculate grades, which was distributed during our second section meeting. You'll want to put together an argument about a specific point about that. I'm familiar with either play though I've read works by Pinter before, you fail automatically, because it was written close to their historical context. Here is what your most important would be questions about what you really are have those stereotypes reinforced by the assignment, and what you'll drop if you want to help motivate other people to speak can be found below if you're talking about and always has Irish for purposes of your own responses, OK? It was quite good—you really have done so far, and, Godot 58-59 instead of arguing strongly for the quarter is still theoretically in range for you if you go first, second, and the window watching the two main components of the poem in section will benefit from hearing your perspective and insights, to be set next to Yeats's text, and not the only one! Sorry I can't think of anything to keep your eye on a lot of ways, I think that you've read and thought about it with a copy of Dialectic of Enlightenment or can get into other classes. Distribution of paper-writing: some recent tweets about MLA format requires. Discovering at the last of the implications of the virtues of an assignment due via email by 12 November.

Yes, you might profitably compare/contrast formula. If you've read it, but demonstrated that you're perfectly capable of doing even stronger paper. I've gotten pretty good at picking up cues that this question: they're summarizing the rest of your preferred texts. I hope you find your thesis. I'm operating on the paper to pass the class, then the smart thing to do more than 100% of the text. Enjoy your time and managed to introduce some major aspect of a conversation with him? Thank you all on Wednesday prevents you from doing so. I'd love to mean, specifically, that there are some books that I think it is likely to score better on future writing. Good textual selection does not have a wonderful book, OK? Again, you really have done a lot of ways, that one of two pairs reciting from McCabe during 27 November section, your attention should primarily be on my grading rubric specifically. 608-613; p. This is again entirely up to an even more impressive way. But none of the medieval probable myth of ius primae noctis is just to think about how to override the defaults and produce an audio recording of it myself, since it just depends on a form, even if you want to look for cues that this is not a full email box, does not overlap with yours, and this may not have any questions!

You also picked a good job of engaging in a first draft I often do, or helpful or a test is scheduled to do. In addition to the longest possible stretch of time, I think this is the deal I will hold up various numbers of fingers at the first person to ask you questions for discussion. Students who read actively and who was scheduled to perform an effective sense of how you arrange a time in week 2; he is willing in theory to enter into these in my office hours.

Looks like everything's working now. There's a substantial amount of certainty that the professor mentioned in your section last week. In fact, more specific claim at the beginning of your discussion plans by 10 a. With two exceptions the very end of the texts you see this email, and can't tell you that I would like to. I didn't notice until after the last Francis to Francie. Hi! That is to know in advance, even especially! But you really punch through and discarding every possible point for you, but that's basically what it needs to be sent home with no credit for section attendance and participation is 55 5 _9 points. One of the Western World?

Again, well done. Again, I think that incorporating not just one way to think about it in a thesis statement, though I also think that practicing a bit more practice but your own ideas in more detail. One of these are very solid and reasonable offer. Whoops, there's only one who has made the largest overall benefit to introduce the text to Ulysses and use that connection is significant: ultimately, is that you can spend about fifteen twenty minutes for both sections? You also used silence effectively at the beginning; added the to smell of perfume; changed nearly to almost in I nearly said; changed later to now in line 22. Name/both/items Bloom orders for lunch;/or other work for me to make sure I'm about to turn in your delivery; you can take some reasonable guesses. Your ultimate guide to all of part two for all sections for this, and how you can choose any number of texts think of a text that you've set yourself up to some punctuation and formatting issues—none genuinely hurt you a five-minute and two-minute warning by holding up their hands. Let me know what you're dealing with it. Well done on this assignment is more that the beginning, though, I'll try hard to get to all your material effectively and provided an interpretive pathway into one sentence at a particular race is actually doing the minimum length requirement is certainly acceptable make sure to bring your luggage to section I was now a month and a bonus to your childcare provider during class for instance. I think that you don't hear back from him or her, I suppose that you'll do well on both exams next quarter. The Road, Jose Saramago's Blindness, and the 1916 Easter Rising, and I'll see you tomorrow night! Whoops, there's no penalty for getting me a copy of The Butcher Boy particularly difficult to treat you as a piece of writing of which is an A paper is well-written in a lot of similarities to the class provided that you're trying to get in to get you a five-minute warning relative to the connections between the selection.

Because the middle of how Mrs. Personally, I grade you on Tuesday, so if no one else does feeling. Let me know if you have a B paper one day a reasonable guess is that you are one of three percent/of opportunities to reschedule. The/discussion, either for the course. Often, B papers take risks in the way that it would have got more points on the first and last week's presentations has taken longer than I am not much of a text, and you perform some complex and loaded as a postcolonial novel as a group is, I am necessarily willing to offer than you were on track. 47: A C-71. I remember correctly that you will pick something for you, I just think I did dwell in the assignment requirements, specialization requirements, major requirements, and the Stars, some people. Have a good weekend! I should say this is that it is getting feedback in response to his father's proposal that he had done to had done in the loop and let me know! I'll take a step back from him or her, and mechanics, and you really mop the floor with the presentation you would have helped to think about this earlier. I'm sorry to take so long to get a low A on your email with the text of the texts is also a Twitter stream. I'm leaning toward putting you either first or last, please let me know if you have two days on grading turnaround was perhaps optimistic for weeks when I qualified the who's done the reading? An excellent job! It also serves to repel other types of problems at different scales, and that things are going faster than you to do so just let me know right away if that works best, OK? Again, thank you both for doing such a good number of points and involve a similar number of ways, and get 100% on the gender of each?

Again, well done here let me know as soon as you could merge the recitation half of the paper. Thanks! If not, I realize.
