I've had a great time with this though. One of the cards I chose is entitled Maglor in History. The pieces I've written about in this one require research, double and triple checking facts, making sure timelines don't cross badly, and making sure that things are plausible. I think it highly likely that I will continue working on this one card after B2ME ends and finish the prompts, it just works for me. So far I've had the intrepid immortal minstrel live in, experience, or feel the repurcusions of (* = completed story):
*The launching of Sputnik
*Construction of the Pyramids
*The reign of Henry VIII
*The One Ring is destroyed
*The Death of Caesar (finished last night - happy with the story)
*Vietnam War
The Harlem Renaissance (currently researching and working on this one)
Hundred Years War
Rome Falls
*Galileo and heliocentrism (this one was a lot of fun)
The Vikings invade Britain
*First flight by the Wright Brothers
The Black Plague
The Battle of Hastings
The World Wars
The Titanic sinks
*The fall of Numenor (the story for this was quite poignant)
*The Manhattan Project
*Mongol invasion
The New World is discovered
I also have an art project that I'm working on. I'm already a day late, but I like what's happening with the project, so I'll continue with it and hopefully be able to turn it in on Monday. I packed my colored pencils and pens, punches, etc., in a little bag so that I can take it back and forth to work and work on this at the shop a bit. It's not the end of the world if I don't finish the piece, but I like the concept that I came up with and I'd like to see it completed. So, have a creative weekend, I plan to have one too :-)
