Decisions, Decisions...

Just got this last night... It's the inital notes for the class syllabus (for the first few class meetings)... Tentatively, this is the grading options:

Subject to change as the class evolves….

72 points: Six “key scenes” from your novel

12 points: Seminar Essay on Structure/Technique
10 points: Author report with handout

6 points: Participation

OR

25,000 words written during National Novel Writing Month. You must be a registered user on NaNoWriMo.org in order to qualify for this grading option.


So... 25,000 words posted/processed in November, or all of the other stuff.... This is a rather "duh-huh" item... but that also means that (technically) my current work in progress will be out, since (technically) other members of the class have seen a portion of the text from last fall...

Hmmm... time to start thinking about some other projects that are bubbling around in the aether of the imagination, and start gettin'-to-crackin' on the plotting there... Looks like one of the new goals for the semester will be a book and a half by the end of this semester (in 1st draft terms)... Really time to set and keep a schedule, now that it's about to be "game time"...
