Again, Sorry About Lateness.

Alright, so I am posting late once again. I am officially terrible at this... Anyway, a couple of things from this assignment. One, the reading for the past weeks was better than the last one once again. There seems to be more storytelling now as opposed to a dialogue heavy story. A good part was when Ulysses and crew had the meal where they sacrificed 2 lambs, and were visited by ghosts.
Next, NaNoWriMo. I finished! I finished a few days early and wrapped up my story like I wanted. This especially made me happy, as I thought it was going to be difficult to make my goal. That is all for these assignments, so peace off.

Dual Reading Update Of Madness!

Alright, so I didn't update last week, for lack of remembering. So now, I will catch up with two updates!! Ah the madness. So in books 2-4 of The Odyssey, I won't go as in depth. One of my major complaints about this section is that there is a lot of dialogue, and not much story. That makes it very difficult to keep reading, especially having to take notes on it. Other than that, I found it easier to keep track of characters. For books 5-7, the main story is that Ulysses is released from the island on which he is detained by Calypso. The gods, mainly Neptune and Calypso, fight over his journey back, making the journey as easy, or as difficult as possible. He finally arrives on a new land, worse for wear. After that, a lot more dialogue ensues. I enjoyed this reading the most of all because of the mix of story and dialogue.
That is all for this week, peace out.

NaNoWriMo Update

My NaNoWriMo is going well, and I am keeping up on my word count. It's hard to write my amount of words per day sometimes though.
