historical novella: introduction.

in english class we are starting an assignment that last until the end of the year (which is decided by the movement of the clouds and other weather patterns that even my advanced knowledge of prognostication methods has yet to decipher, let alone mere mortals). we are to write a novella 20-25 pages in length, and it must be set in or before World War 2. partly to provide content, and partly to keep me honest about doing this assignment, i am going to post every step i take regarding this. with any luck, by the end of the year i will have written a novel for your enjoyment.

the only thing i ask here is that any content that comes off of this wait until august to reproduce, just so that i can be done with it. i also encourage comment on what i am doing good and bad on, and i have permission to use them to help my project.

in other news, rachel, from the blog are you awake? just yelled at me for telling her how to close her HTML tags (she claims that she already knew...). and i am going to start sailing, so expect more nautical terms in my writing (jib, vang, and bilg) extra credit to the first person i don't know who can name all of the terms i just listed.
