I just hit submit on my small first essay for the Fantasy/Sci Fi course. 310 words of 320 allowed. As I was digitally scribbling and editing it struck me that all of this backing and forthing about the two stories I’d chosen to discuss was all in my head. I worked with The Twelve Brothers and The Six Swans and threw in a reference to Rhiannon in The Mabinogion for good measure.
My idea of taking a class where the teacher somehow guides you to new learning and ideas… hmmmm. I read, I thought, I wrote. Got it. Well I get to read four essays written by others which should be interesting. Maybe that will reveal some things I hadn’t thought much about.
I’m glad the length is so short. Hard to be über-scholarly and pompous when so limited! LOL Maybe someone will find my Mabinogion reference over the top.
