Not really. I do remember one time when I was ten our class did a bunch of Shakespeare excerpts. My group was doing the Dauphin's reaction to the English invasion (from King Henry V), and my group kept complaining I had too many lines as the Dauphin.
Eventually, I quit trying to cut out lines, and just rewrote my whole script. The weird thing was - nobody noticed.
I've heard that it's become one of my teacher's favourite anecdotes.

I wrote a script for a drama project last year. If anyone would like to read it, you're more than welcome too. It's dumb, and full of really bad jokes.

I have this problem that the stories I start I never finish. Most of it is sci-fi/fantasy in nature.
I do sometimes write articles about things, but I don't consider them in the same category.

I'm sure that's a problem for most would-be writers. I have 18 stories in my Prose folder, all started over the past seven years. Of them, only 12 are finished, and most of those are short (<4) stories for school.
Of major projects, I've started 10 and finished 5.

I think she meant "buon appetite" which comes from an Italian phrase meaning "have a good meal" (or literally, "good appetite").

It's called a pun...

Oh!! Thanks dude, I just now got that! Seriously, I didnt catch that until you said something.
I have some short stories that I finish, more that I dont, one major project that I'll likely trash, and a good amount of poetry (haiku's, beat poetry, other assorted types).

Thank you for pointing that out.
You're welcome. If that was sarcastic at all, it did actually need mentioning as leet didn't get the joke...

my stories tend to mirror whatever i am reading at the time.
so if i feel like writing something confusing on the subject of war i read a clancy for a couple of weeks.
but if i feel like writing a fantasy i read some tolkien or pratchett
if sci fi be what i seek i read a spot duggy
and if actually intend to write something other than blatant plagurism its usually an answer to a Leaving Cert english question.
