9/24/09 E98: Legend’s Day OffCategories: Hunter Chronicles • ShortsTags: berkeley • english 98 • meta:hc • school Posted by Flak | Comments: 3 |

Some notes for those familiar with my old work the Hunter Chronicles: The ninja formerly known as Gem now goes by Loen. The criminal organization formerly known as the Underworld now goes by The Line. Mist is autonomous; the nation of Terra does not exist. Central Libra is replaced by Tryn—the Guardian Lord is the ruler of Tryn, not of Libra. I’m not going to list all the changes here… just take this as a short story in the HC world, slightly revised. Various plot details of Crystals of Mana, both those written and as of yet unwritten, have been changed, and this takes place about four years after the beginning of that ill-fated journey.
If you’re unfamiliar with HC, ignore everything above and just enjoy what’s below. Crit is welcome, but don’t go out of your way to provide it. This is going to be workshopped by my English 98 class in the next week.

Our freewrite in class this week was a character-building exercise that wasn’t really in a story-esque form, more like a questionnaire. It wasn’t very interesting, so I’m not going to post it here. I signed up for the first workshop date, so my short story is due Thursday. This means you’ll all have something a bit more substantial to read soon, hopefully.
I’ve been a bit ill the past couple days, and have fallen slightly behind on schoolwork, not to mention my hobbies. :\

Another week, another bit of writing for my short-story writing class. The prompt was this: one character wants something and tries to get it, and, whether or not they succeed, they also get something they didn’t want. We had ten minutes in class to jot these down, so please forgive the hastiness of the writing:

I didn’t think I’d be encountering more Socratic nonsense this semester, but Cognitive Science 1 in one week’s worth of reading delivered an all-star cast of Descartes, Aristotle, Plato, and Locke! Hurray.
9/3/09 E98 Exercise #1 – Nothing To YouCategories: ShortsTags: berkeley • english 98 • mini • school Posted by Flak | Comments: 5 |

Our first writing exercise homework. The prompt was to write a scene (300-500 words… where did I grow accustomed to those constraints…?) in which one person wants something that the other doesn’t want to give. We were told to focus more on the conflict and less on the object of the conflict, but that it was up to us whether or not to reveal it at the end. I’m pleased with what I have so far, though I have a while to finalize my submission.
