March 2021 - Day 1

Here is the place to tell us about your daily success (or the lack of it)!
May the magic be with us all!

FYI: I'll put up the daily posts between 6 and 8pm, CET, each day. The exact posting time might vary due to RL issues. My apologies.

I've been doing a first-year writing elective for my online university course over summer, and I just got back the final assignment, which was to write 1350 words on 'Place and Encounter' (an encounter between two characters, with an emphasis on making the place it was in an integral part of the writing).

Being me and devoted to making my own life harder, I decided to do a 'discussion' in a cemetery between a ghost and a cat (really a monologue since the cat didn't even miaow :) so the rather less than spooky ghost had to do all the talking (and I suspect sounded a lot like what I would were I dead).

Be that as it may... I got a high distinction!!! Given the course is for fun, not employment, that is way more than I was hoping for :) My tutor suggested I keep working in it to expand into a full story, I may put it aside to think about and do just that.

Thankee! My 'participation' grade (for the workshops) has also gone up and my total grade for the subject is due today. It's the first time I have ever done studies in writing, so am thrilled with how it turned out.

Sounds interesting to me--any chance we could read it?
:^)

I'm going to post the first few paragraphs for folk to read :) It's very simple, but I had fun.

Your 'Place and Encounter' piece sounds delightful! Creative! Do we get a peek at it? High distinction, YAY!
