With a Little Perseverance


As I have mentioned previously, my Character Development course was extremely hard, and no matter what I did, somehow it wasn't good enough, or at least, that's how I interpreted my professor's feedback. Now I am well aware that a character's backstory is very important. It's what makes him or her a real person. See, I knew that, but it just wasn't being reflected on my work.


I was getting frustrated and there were times when I thought I would have to retake the course. No joke! But today, after many days of obsessing over my school email, I received an email with my professor's notes on my characters portfolio.

Yes, my heart was thumping and I was thinking the end of the world was approaching, but one thing is certain, I didn't expect what I read.

My professor loved it!

He loved my protagonist backstory and history as well as my antagonist backstory and history. In fact, he felt my antagonist bio was touching.

Gosh, I felt accomplished after reading that.

I guess it's true what they say about not giving up and giving it your all.

Little by little, I feel I'm getting there, wherever there is.

Till Next Time

Finished Character Development and Other News...

I will admit, this was one of those courses that by the end you are "I'm not taking this professor again" or "Let me know when you take this class so I can tell you who NOT to get as an instructor..." Frankly I didn't like my professor's method of teaching. Yes, I did learn a thing or two, so I guess the class did count for something, but other then that I disliked his choice of textbook and the way he came about the class. Personally I believe it had to do with the fact that his wife just gave birth to their first child and he wasn't really there.

I mean, why not get a substitute? I think that would've worked better... just saying....

I am hoping my new class goes better... which starts tomorrow! :chuckles:



In Other News...

My sister and I will finally start a comic project we have been thinking about for a while now... so I am hoping to fix my schedule and make everything fit somehow...

 I see this as practice since in truth I want to work with animation and comics... that's what I want to do...

A short entry (once again....) but I do hope to start writing more...

"please! don't!"


Hmmm..... I hope that's not what you are thinking... and if you are HA! sucks 'cause I will continue writing random stuff that you know... random and weird people tend to write about Tuzki Bunny Emoticon.


Till Next Time
