SCA 50 Challenge

So, there's something called the A&S 50 challenge out now, to celebrate the SCA turning 50 in a few years. The idea is to do 50 of one type of thing, or 50 different things, or creating everything that a given persona would have, including knowledge of one's country/time period/culture. Lady Kathleen asked on the Bergental list if some of us wanted to form a team to write 50 poems by May 1, 2015. I think she and one of the other folks will be creating most of them, but it sounds like an interesting project, so we now have a small group started. I don't write a lot of poetry, but I'm sure I can write a few between now and then. As to themes, types of poetry, and so on, that's all yet to be discussed.

Used to write stories as well, but I don't think I could manage more than one or two by then. Although it can be interesting coming up with the premises for them - sci-fi, fantasy, mystery, epic journeys, surviving disasters, all that sort of thing.

Much easier reading than writing them, of course! Current read is The Subtle Knife, by Philip Pullman. A bit on the dark side at the moment; perhaps I should read more Gene Logsdon, and definitely less of the news and stuff on climate change. Fictional scenarios based on that stuff rarely goes well...

Had to cancel choir practice, of course. So we'll be meeting at 3pm at Wandering Moon, to get in a little practice and warm-up before the demo.
