Calloo Callay! O Frabjous Day!
Hi all,
I'm new to internet fora and I'm not sure if what I tried to post actually went on. If so, my apologies for mostly duplicating the same thing. If not, let me introduce myself: I'm new to this thread, and I have just finished reading through the whole thread up to today. I'm very glad that it hasn't finished before I could join in! (I was a bit worried--it has been going for some now, after all, and Uncle Jim might have gotten bored.)
Let me put in my thanks to Uncle Jim and all the others who participate for making this fascinating, fun, and extremely helpful. I have not done all the exercises, but I do have The Unstrung Harp and Logical Chess coming in (one bought, the other from the library), and am working through memorising my poetry, and . . . I've been writing my WIP since junior high and am now doing my doctorate, and while it has changed it is (in my head, at least) the same story. But somehow the idea that every word (or at least every other one) should go towards one overarching theme, however implicit, was extremely helpful towards unsticking a few points. So, many thanks!
This is going to be a long enough post as it is, so I shall keep my questions until later. Till then, happy BIC-ing!
