Back to school kicked my ass!
Quick review on this week's readings:
Sep 2 All For Love by Dryen : 2/5 It's really hard to give a blob of play any higher than this.
Sep 3 The Treaty of Paris: 3/5 We still fight about fishing rights.
Sep 4 Letters On The English by Voltaire: 1/5 Almost good satire, but not satire, so not good.
Sep 5 The Origin of Species by Darwin: 3/5 If we're going to talk about evolution, it's good to think about extinction as well. All part of the same continuum.
Sep 6 Sir Walter Scott by Caryle: 3/5 Weird beginning, but some good thoughts on writing and existing in society.
Sep 7 "The Destruction of Da Derga's Hostel": 2/5 Fragment of a fragment is meh.
Sept 8 Ice and Glaciers by von Helmholtz: 3/5 Some interesting general science.
Average: 2.43 I think this is a good score? I haven't done this in a while.
Overall Thoughts on The Project:
Alright, trying to get caught up again. The beginning of the school year really kicked my ass this year, and I had to cut back to just the core posts to keep up. I don't know why I thought committing to basically two posts a day (between this, Star Wars, and guest posts elsewhere), plus the reading, plus my fiction writing was going to work out. Still, proud that I kept up with the core posts at least. I think I should be able to get pretty close to caught up by the new year. I plan to take some time to do reflection posts without doing a new project, so that'll give a little buffer to finish up if I need to.
Caryle was, unexpectedly, the highlight this week. I'm not a big fan of these random introduction sections, but he had some good thoughts on writing, "jostling", etc.
