Apr. 1st, 2006 09:06 pmToday I wrote a Petrarchan sonnet. No, seriously. If that's what you call one of those sonnets that rhymes after the fashion of my subject line. Yes, I did do a degree in English Literature, but my friend did a degree in geography and I don't expect her to know the capital of Venezuela. She can look it up. That's what I should do.
But I did write a sonnet. It's not an experiment I'm overly keen to repeat, but I'm not entirely horrified with the result. I did it because I had to. It was necessary for the conclusion of my Nanowrimo novel. I've put off the dreaded sonnet for four months now, but I couldn't really edit much more without it, so I kind of wrote it, and there it is. It's very awkward, having to write sonnets. I have an idea for a story that'll only work if I write about 20 Shakespearian sonnets. That one's kind of at the bottom of my list. But I wrote a sonnet! I'm a bit excited about it. I'll hate it tomorrow, but today I want people to know I wrote a sonnet.
Except I think I might've missed the pivot by a couple of words. Never mind. People won't notice if I stop telling them.
