ATWH Info

[dreiser]

I worked on my unfinished S3 Danish fic All The White Horses this weekend. But not very much since I had to read seventy pages of Kate Chopin's The Awakening for my American Literature II class today but I did work on it. I plan on working on it some more this week. I'm going to post what I have for the fic on Saturday or Sunday for people to read and comment if they like.

Since people keep asking about this fic despite the fact it's been many long months since I updated it I figured I would give them this info. Of course, those same people who email me might not read my livejournal so what the hell. And again, people who do read it, those puny few, might not even give a fuck about this. In which case ignore this post.

I feel buzzed. Caffiene is having a weird effect. Bad Jolt Cola. Bad!

Yea ATWH! YEA atwh!! YEA!!! We are the puny few, hear us ROAR!! Is that a bit much?? I'm just excited about the prospect of another chapter. Excited doesn't really seem appropriate though, as I do know how it ends. I guess I'm in denial, as I was for all of Season 3. Look where THAT got me. Sheesh. Just wanted to give you a wee bit of encouragement. Your hard work certainly is appreciated, Nic.

That is music to my ears. The Awakening is on my bookshelf. Would you recommend picking it up?

BWAHAHA! I hated disecting Kate Chopin's writing.

ATWH is the way that I found your website and your livejournal, which has inspired me to start my own livejournal. What can I tell you, I owe it all to ATWH and can't wait until it is updated!

I did too, but thought about giving her another chance now that I'm older and wiser... yeah - that's it!

My class was "The New Woman and the American Novel". We read lots of fun books, including Henry James, PORTRAIT OF A LADY, Edith Wharton, THE HOUSE OF MIRTH Sarah Orne Jewett, THE COUNTRY OF THE POINTED FIRS Pauline Hopkins, CONTENDING FORCES Willa Cather, MY ANTONIA Gertrude Stein, THREE LIVES Djuna Barnes, NIGHTWOOD Nella Larsen, QUICKSAND F. Scott Fitzgerald, TENDER IS THE NIGHT.

It's not that long a read. If you don't mind reading about Harlequin romance type stuff it's good and you can clearly see why it's considered a feminist piece of writing.

But just to put it simple and personal I liked the story quite a bit. Her writing style makes everything really easy to visualize and causes you to get quite attached to the characters.

I rather disect Chopin than Emerson. Blerh.

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm glad you're ready for the ending. Some people keep thinking I'm going to alternate universe and change it but that's sadly not the case.

It's a powerful little angst of a story. Heh. I'm glad that a few people will look forward to reading what piddling amount I'll finish for it this week. It might not be much because I haven't had time to work on it at all so far.

Most likely I'll do the writing on Friday or Saturday.

I don't mind reading about Harlequin Romance type stuff. Thanks for the recommendation.
