Okay so I’m not going to lie. I haven’t even started yet. Struggling hardcore with this one.
And I still have to work today.
I’m struggling to grasp the genre. I know it’s a little late but what are some films that fall in this genre? Someone suggesed Stranger than Fiction.
Hi everyone. This turned out more like an article than a story and I know I didn’t hit on the mythology. Rewrites didn’t cut the mustard so decided to get the ideas out there anyone. Cheers
enjoyed this one alot!! goodluck to everyone else.
I struggled with this one right up to the wire. And then the U.S. House of Representatives gave me my grumbling inspiration!
Well right down to the wire on this one. Just getting a last minute edit in now. Struggled with genre but hopefully I got it right.
My first crack at the FGC – I do find the genre challenging – and hope this works! Good luck everyone.
