| It's actually quite warm out today. I trudged to my computer lecture only to sit there and stare at the powerpoint on the screen. I don't even take notes in that class, and as usual, we got out fifteen minutes early today. I trudged back to the towers and went to the computer lab. I read spark notes on "To the Lighthouse" by Virginia Woolf. It's one of those novels you can appreciate, but not like in the least bit. I read twenty five of the prescribed eighty pages. Spark notes saves my life. I have little patience for novels. I'm more of a short story/ poetry kind of girl. Then again, if this novel actually had a plot, then maybe it would be more interesting. Stream of conciousness is admirable, but leaves much to be desired. Michelle |

spinder | 11-06-06 11:34am Plots are good. Although you dont really need one. |
| m&ms487 | Re:, 11-06-06 2:13pm Plots are what makes a story interesting. Unless you like to read 300 pages about people, their descriptions.

| 1010101 | Re:, 11-06-06 4:46pm Hm, if the characters are good enough you can pretty much write a story without a plot and still have it turn out wonderfully, but very few writers seem to be capable of pulling that off. |
| m&ms487 | Re: Re:, 11-07-06 12:54pm I wouldn't classify it so much as a story, but as a really long observation.
