Um...January went where? : comments [stunt

Well, we didn't start with Freud, at least. We've been working on theory as applied to short fiction for the pst two weeks, and we started with New Criticism and Deconstruction. Psychoanalytic criticism was the last one we did.

So, yes, the class is quite organized. I think that's the reason I like it more than I normally like theory classes. (I still like creative writing better, of course, but hey.)

The worst part of the time constraints is the "planning time" you're supposed to give yourself. My ten minutes of planning usually turn into twenty, which is not good. :( That, and I just don't write that fast. Thanks for the good wishes.

Also, I love your new writing icon.

Ah, deconstruction...oh wait, we never actually got around to that. In retrospect, my theory course - much though I loved it for precisely this reason, since it was easier to slide through - was rather vague and ufocused. At least you're learning something worthwhile - we never actually applied theory to anything (except what we were supposed to do on our own for the final paper, after having learned about the theories).

And thanks, I'm rather fond of my icon too. Figured it was high time I had something to pair up with any discussion of fic-writing I might do. ~~Regardless of how non-existent it has become.~~

Ah, see, but there are days when I would really rather have the class that's easier to slide through. :) I kid - LitCrit's actually one of the courses that's easier on me, especially since there's such an emphasis on theory application.

Of course, now we're all switched over from short fiction to drama, so I have no idea where we're going now.
