Third meeting

The third meeting is due today.

In the email circular our leader suggested that there would be less projects and more fun in the classes.

This time I am way behind with my homeworks. We had like 4/5 tasks and I'm finished with 2.

-

One of them was to revise one (or one part of) my previous work.

-

I have two ongoing projects (wips). One is Halo, the other one is called Copper Moon. I have not contributed a single line to the latter in more than a year. Do you think it means I will never ever finish it? I don't think so. I want to finish Halo first, you know.

-

So, since none of my longer-sized wips are ready I re-composed a poem instead.

It is a simple 8-line paganistic poem.

I adjusted the number of syllables so as to have the same length of lines, removed 2 cliches and 1 inappropriate word. I chose more suitable words and expressions. Also I changed 1 word to avoid unnecessary repetition.

This poem is written in Hungarian.

-

I usually do this revision as a habit, you know.

Now the strange thing was to do it deliberately and with defined methods.

I tend to write impulsively, which sometimes results in quite a flow of words, sometimes with not a word at all for weeks. I assume this is not the right way, but I find it hard to manage and control my inspiration. I don't even know if any control is possible.

Whenever I'm finished with something I usually check the thing over to remove and unwanted repetitions, cliches, misused words, inappropriate subjects and objects, verb usage, grammar and so on.

I do it impusively, too -

How your writing's going?
