I finished the short story The Drunkard, and I'm part way through the other one I'm reading called Rape Fantasies. We also did another poem of the week. I think I am getting better at those, but I'm not really sure. Hopefully we go over it and give it a grade and stuff so I can see where I'm at. I haven't had time to finish any of the poem essays yet, but I've gotten close and I think what I did get down was good. But we'll see when we go over it next week. Some author came in this week. I don't remember his name, but I really liked listening to him. Besides him being an interesting.character and person to listen to, I actually enjoyed hearing about how he writes his books. He talked a lot about how you need to get a system for your writing, to make sure you take the time to write. Although I liked listening to him, writing still isn't my thing. I don't mind writing these blogs actually, because I can write in my own voice somewhat. But writing a book does not sound interesting at all to me. One thing I learned about was humor and how it effects stories. Its odd how humor often isn't funny, but there is still a purpose for it. I think the category me and Tyler are doing should be called Irony, not humor, because that what it really is.
