ILS: Bluebeard - Final Cut (Day 1)

[changeling67]

I haven't touched this essay for months, quite simply because of the pressure we were under re J's illness and operations.  I have 11 days and two projects to finish.  I made a start on Perrault/Grimm/Dickens.  Trying to find some clarity here.

I maybe gone for some time...

19:55
I have summed up The Robber Bridegroom in 232 words.  Well, that's a good start.....possibly need to pad this out by another 1,000 at least.

21:52
I have written 1,068 words, albeit a lot of quotes and observation points.  I think I will rely heavily on Dickens and Grimm as they are far more salacious, plus it leads me nicely to carter later on.

Time to stop - theoretically I have only 1,500 to write and I will do that easily with the stuff I have to write.  This is not a 'cinch' BUT I find this far, far easier than Postmodernism (yeah, I am still stung about that - it will pass).

That is the BEST epitaph I've seen I think. Although. "Where'ere you go. where ere you be, let your wind go free, for holding mine was the death of me." is pretty close and I think that's in a cemetery in the UK Yorkshire? up along that side!

You'll make it. And probably find it's all the better for having been left!

LOL - with that much gas, I guess it is just as well that he wasn't cremated.
