Speaking of School

Speaking of school, I am still woefully behind on my homework -- but not worried yet.

I really like the flexibility of distance learning, and so far the teachers have been understanding when I need to delay a deadline.

I got some very helpful feedback from my teacher on my TCRB short story and have much to do to improve it, which I'm excited about doing. Best of all, though, she indicated she thought the story was "fun." (Yes, I'm that easy to please.)

One of the things she noticed was that I switched POV towards the end of the story, which she thought I'd done on purpose, but it was a mistake. I notice I do that from time to time, in this case going from first to third person. I generally pay a lot of attention to POV when I'm writing so it makes me wonder if it's an indication of subconsciously distancing myself from my MC. Like, my MC was showing his unsavory side, so I took a mental step away from him. Or something.
