Week Seven

I've started thinking about my creative piece now that the presentation is (nearly) over. I think I've settled on the idea of writing a short story, but that depends on whether I can find a publication that I can write a suitable story for. I'm going to research different short story publications next week/this week and see if I can find one I could imagine writing for.

I decided on a short story because, obviously there is a limited word count, and the only other thing I could think of doing was an article for a publication such as Cosmo, but I think that's too predictable and possibly going to be done by a lot of people people in the class, and I've also struggled with Cosmo style articles in the past. I don't think my writing style suits Cosmo.

Hopefully after getting stuck into research my next blog will be much better than this, but that's all I have to say about my creative piece at the minute.

I'm giving my presentation soon, which I'm actually suprisingly confident about, considering how I thought I'd been too ambitious. I've touched briefly on the history of the Bible, which I think needed to be done because I couldn't talk about one, new version without mentioning old versions and how the new one arrived.

Then the rest of the presentation is about the NIV, and how the theme of it is to appeal to everybody. I think this makes it interesting, as there are numerous different versions of the NIV to appeal to different audiences, and that makes for a good discussion on cover choice and design etc.
