Oh, have you? That's so exciting! Practice is really good. ♥
Yeah, I can sort of understand what you mean, I guess. There's no boundary or limit to fanfiction. :) Are you interested in original fiction as well?
Wow, your mom's a classicist! How fascinating. Is it like an occupation of hers or just an interest? What does one do, exactly? o_o I like Mythology, but I have to admit I've never delved too much into it.
no subject
Haha, it's not that exciting, but it's fun.
I do write original things, too. I'm actually working on a book now, if that proves anything.
She is. And it is fascinating. She works at Yale as a Classics Professor, actually. They work on things like Homer and other ancient works -- as well as customs in Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. It's really interesting.
no subject
Ooh, that's so awesome! What is it about, if I may ask? :)
Definitely. That way you get to learn all this really fun stuff, too. I've always been interested in Ancient Greece (or, well, history in general, actually), and I've wanted to take a class in college but I need to take classes for my major, so that's out of the window. :/
no subject
One-shots are just easier to read, I guess, even though good multi-chaps are definitely worth taking your time with. I haven't started school yet, actually, but I'm getting ready, haha.
It's still rough, and I've haven't written a whole lot of it but it's a future-fic about, basically, a tyrant king and it's sort of sci-fi, sort of fantasy. Agh, it's hard to explain. I have sketches of clothes and like, names and a plot and stuff but it's still hard to write out.
Yeah, it's nice for me to have grown up with academics and her job. I'm a big history buff so it's great to just ask her things about Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire and get answers I might not at school. I'm actually still faaar away from college but I hope to take some Classics as well as English and World History. Things change, though, so I might turn to the Math side of things. :)
no subject
When do you start school?
I think the most interesting part of writing a original fiction is making character designs and world-building. :p Good luck with your future fic, and I hope you have fun! ♥
How nice for you! I think it's great that you have a fair idea of what you're going to do at college, though, no matter how young or old you are. At least this way you have some sort of direction! And wow, Math? Like you mean Engineering-related Math or... actual Math? :D
no subject
I start August 31st. I'm in the US.
yeah -- I'm really enjoying putting together characters and the world, and the fact it's a mix of science and magic makes it even more interesting. of course, plot matters too, haha.
mm. I'm pretty sure I want to focus on the arts during high school and limit myself to simply academics and writing during college. so, writing/singing/acting throughout high school and then just writing and english and history later on. and math-math, not engineering. I'm not huge on it but my dad is a physicist so...maybe I'll change courses entirely. who knows? :D
no subject
So school has started now! How are you? ♥
I'm doing media and creative writing in college. To tell you the truth, it's driving me crazy. In a sense I think doing a writing degree is harder than, say, doing a business degree. It really screws up with your head, haha, but then it's also really exciting and fulfilling. I do hope you get to decide on what you're gonna do, though - the earlier you know, I've heard, the better your "commitment", so to speak.
no subject
Yes, yes it has. It's been good, considering we haven't done anything particularly interesting yet. Actual school work starts tomorrow, because today is Labor Day. So far we've worked on 'back-to-school' stuff, so. However, I'm (personally) good! It's nice to have something to do, you know? Considering I do absolutely nothing over the summer, much to my dismay.
That sounds cool! Although I'm sure getting a writing degree is really strenuous. Also, your head can't be screwed that much--you make such a good conversation partner! ^______^ Exciting and fulfilling is good. To keep your head from being too unscrewed.
I'll probably do psychology and creative writing. Still, English is always a choice. I've been very interested in psych lately, and I think I'll stick to that. So I have a vague idea of what I want to do. Or a little less than vague.
no subject
So how's school going for you?
Getting a writing degree is one of the most fulfilling and torturing things I can do, I think. It's really, really, really tiring and it sucks out all of my writing time, so I hardly write fanfiction anymore. It's like I'm writing for college classes so much, so when it comes to writing for myself I get all confused. :/
I actually sort of regret not ever taking psychology. It's really interesting, and from what I've heard, kind of theory-based though there are some practical sides to it as well. What does an English degree entail, exactly? Does it mean you'll be reading literature and analyzing them throughout your college years?
no subject
Don't worry about taking your time, I don't mind at all.
School is fine! It's actually going pretty well, compared to the horrors of last year. And, of course, compared to the horrors of getting a writing degree. I'm sorry it's so tiring! I can't imagine it. But I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end...
Sort of.
Mmm, that's why I'm looking at it. I'm really interested in the way a human works, I guess, though that sounds sort of freaky. Ahaha. An English degree seems to be along those lines. I'm still trying to find out, but the subject has always been interesting for me, along with history.
Good luck with surviving, then~
no subject
Ooh, I'm sure this will be worth it, too, in the end. I'm just a bit concerned about the what-ifs (i.e. what if I took something else and it turns out to be more worth it?). But eh, there's nothing I can do about it now. It's nice to hear that school's going on well for you! Is it better in terms of workload? Friends? Or something else?
No, it doesn't sound freaky at all, actually! Hahaha. And history sounds amazing, as well. I've always been interested in it though I've never really pursued it. Are you interested in a particular era?
no subject
Yeah, I guess there are always doubts. But, you know, concentrating on the good things is sometimes hard. Especially with something so frustrating. My school is going well because of friends, I think. Last year was really awful for just about everyone - in terms of drama - so having more people I like to hang out with is really great. The work isn't really hard, but I'm not speaking for everyone.
Well, that's good. I wouldn't want to creep you out. Mhm, I adore history. I'm very much into the humanities, as you might've noticed. I'm mostly interested in World History in general, but the Ancient civilizations such as Greece and Egypt are probably my favorite out of everything. Only if I have to choose.
no subject
Oh, don't you worry. World History sounds amazing. Have you ever thought of doing archaeology?
no subject
World History is amazing. Ahaha. I have thought a little about archaeology but because I'm not incredibly hands on - more like theory and writing - I don't know how much I'd enjoy it.
no subject
I'm actually reading World History for Dummies now! Hahaha. I've been meaning to for years but I haven't gotten the chance until this little convo with you pushed me to actually borrow it from the library.
no subject
That's awesome~ I just find history really interesting. I'm glad I inspired you. :p
no subject
And it really is interesting! I've been putting it on hold because of this sea of assignments I had to... swim through, but it's all done now.
How are you? :D
no subject
I'm wading through school visits and applications and tests, actually. and in my spare time, I'm surfing the web. like a boss.

so, how's life with you? anything interesting going on~?

Oh, that's great. I hope you can write some more, I know it always calms me down. I also know that I plan a lot of writing too and get almost nothing done.
I'm alright, thankyouverymuch. I'm not less busy though. Quite the opposite, actually. I have a giant test tomorrow (it's a Saturday, too!) as well as a singing audition as well as applications as well as 4/5 ongoing projects! Oh, the joy~ But I'm still pretty happy with things.
no subject
OMG, good luck with that test. It's already Sunday now where I live, so I hope you did well. Do you have school on Saturday? :o Also, I didn't know that you sing! I'm so jealous. I'm not musical though I play some instruments, but my singing is just totally off-key. XD Good luck with those projects, too. I'm glad you don't seem like you're being weighed down by all these different things. ♥
