'New' Homework Assignment Submissions
Hey.
I'm Dan. As you can see from my post count, I'm a 'noob' to use the parlance of the interwebs.
I came across Chuck's essays about a week ago, and have been writing almost constantly since then. I've been working on my interpretations of the earlier homework assignments, and I'd love to hear what you guys think.
However, I'm wondering where I should submit them. If I submit them through the 'Lessons From Chuck' pages, is anyone likely to read them? I've read a few threads about older, more experienced members wishing to resurrect this section, but I don't want them to sit on the shelf unread, so to speak.
Also, is there anything in the FAQ or elsewhere that deals with tasty formatting issues when submitting work from Macs or suchlike? Unless I was pretty 'faced when I wrote them (do people still say that? I'm terribly un-hip, I'm afraid), my machine has kindly added some revisions of it's own, and they don't make a whole lot of sense. I've tried uploading them as both .txt and .rtf files, and there's still all sorts of crap in there. And some funny symbols, too.
So, any help / suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks.
Dan

Never mind - I'm a dumbass.
I do stuff like this quite frequently. I blurt things out, only to realize later that it was a horrible mistake. Like telling a girl you love her after two dates because she's the only girl that'll even look at you. So I'm told.
So, uhh....thanks. I think.

well, ive read the story and cleared it through the shop. it's a great story, well written actually. youve already pretty perfectly accomplished the second essay on "theme", so definitely a good job. i dont at the moment have time to craft a review as im leaving for work in a few minutes and this nanowrimo november thing is really kicking my ass. back in october, starting and completing a 50K word novel in exactly one month resounded like a good idea. now, in november, it's really kicking my ass. yeah, i have 47K words to go. ive been working on it all day. ill be back to it tonight and in the morning. i really need to have 6k words completed by midday tomorrow before work. if im able to hit that goal, ill craft a review, otherwise mine will be coming in a few days..
later on, and good writing
