CLUE today

Rate this Entry
Well, today I arrived nearly late to school, so I had to carry my baratone all around the school until third period band. Useless heavy luggage

Well, in CLUE today, I arrived in, behind in my reading of Great Expectations because of other work I've been focused on ib miscellaneous classes. A few days earlier I turned in a Short Story, and tosay we were all going to go over them with our teacher, I'll name her Mrs. S in my blog, as I don't care to get too personal. Mrs. S pulled me aside at the end of class, and congratulated me on my SS. She said she had enjoyed it heavily, and that it was the best and most creative one out of the entire 4 CLUE classes she teaches. Naturally I was ecstatic until she mentioned I made a 70 on it. I looked at her questioningly, and then she said that I don't pay attention to the directions well enough, and that that was the only thing holding me back. Strangely, I left upset but also delighted at the same time. I don't quite know how I should feel at the moment.

    I think your teacher did well in praising what was worthy in your story but also commendable in pointing out where you went off-as in not followling format. Editors are notoriously fussy about guidelines and any wavering from THEIR expectations helps the File 13 get bigger--provided you're planning to sell your stories for that matter. Plus it's valuable in any occupation to be creative BUT aware of where the boundaries are. With respect Rich
