it's a series of 20 odd fragments and sometimes when i'm editing i come across one and i'm like 'oh, that sounds good... can't remember writing it though' but that's probs coz i write best in the middle of the night.
yeah fragments are the way to go. They can be disjointed and are an excellent option if you can't make a story flow.
I got the best of my work done between the hours between 1 and 3.
Had about 6 hours sleep since monday.

i was wondering though, did anyone drop the F- Bomb in their major works? Or were we not allowed to include any swearing in it? cause there were so many times when i was tempted to, but i just decided to censor it and replace it with a 'piss of'
yeah I dropped the F - bomb a couple of times, even managed to sneak in the C - Bomb. My teachers head nearly exploded when she saw it, but it fitted and she later admitted it did.
It's unfortunate that such words are so versatile and can be used in almost any context.

Im fairly happy with mine. Its my reflection statement im not sure about.

Sorry, I didnt put in my reflection statement, which makes it 50 pages.

This is a really sad competition (but one that I must win).

We have to hand it in to school on the 22nd of August but i don't think the school sends it away till next wednesday.. well mine sends it then.. i don't know whether you could submit it late, talk to your teachers about what happens if you dont submit it tomorrow.. Sneak them some money and who knows maybe they'll pretend you submitted it on time ha.

im pretty sure that if it isnt in at 9am on the due date it is a zero, unless your school is lazy about it
im also in the process of an all nighter, but dont you think you will get it done? how much have you done?

Hey dw, just write, write, write and you'll get it done. Don't worry about the dates either in your journal if that's what you mean, half my class didn't even date theirs.

Also get off BoS =]

Good Luckk

wow ..

i sympathise will the people who did all nighters, i did as well with my friend.

it was so incredibly frustrating, because i think at my school the teachers were completely biased. i ended up getting the least marks because i wasn't as tight with the teachers marking it. they helped all the other people and i was too scared to go and ask them for help because i had a nasty feeling they would shoot me down.

about two days before we had to hand it in, i got one of the teachers to mark what i've done. when i got it back there was nothing written on it but she basically told me to 'check carefully.'

CHECK CAREFULLY?! CHECK WHAT?! :mad:

so i gave it in to her, with my journal like it just came out of a bullfight, same with the RS and the MW that i have a nasty feeling i left something in brackets which i was supposed to change. plus my teacher was like 'oh, you've finished it? congratulations!' and shook my hand. my ASS considering that i've only seen her like TWICE the whole year, minus the viva voce which i majorly F*CKED UP because i didn't talk to them about anything i was working on.

don't you just hate it when people come up to you and go 'how did you go?' when they've literally finished it about 2 months ago =___= makes you want to BURN something.
