I honestly don't know. I hit a rough patch with my work, and I've got a lot to do in coming days, plus I've gotten into a good place with my Thesis writing and I don't want to give that up if I can help it. If I can get ahead a little bit tonight I'll critique it, since it's a short assignment, but no promises.

Welp. I clearly got no decent dialogue of any length. Though it sounds like with how busy you are, Xen, that might not be all that bad.

Emotion sounds interesting, though I've not read the assignment yet.

Give him some time yet, Zmaster. I know it's hard to be patient when you want to see what people think of your work and get better as a writer, but keep in mind that Xen is doing this out of the kindness of his heart. He doesn't get nearly as much out of it as the people who get his critiques, so he's really doing the rest of us a favor. And keeping that in mind, I think it's okay for him to do it on his schedule.

Well put and accurate. I appreciate the sentiments.

In case you're wondering about my schedule, Zmaster, let me lay it out very clearly:

- The Inklings (LIT330): A 300-level Literature course on works and guiding principles of the esteemed group 'The Inklings,' which included such greats as J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Three pages of response and an average of 200 pages of reading per week, plus a long-term investigative project into a major theme of one of the member authors' works.

- Dispossession and Displacement (ANTH330): A 300-level Anthropology course dedicated to studying the causes and results of dispossession and displacement, primarily in northern African states such as Côte d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso. One discussion board entry and 150 pages of (incredibly dense) reading per week.

- Tutorial in Perspective & Portrait (SART400T): A weekly drawing tutorial on perspective and portrait drawing in pencil and inks, with at least three completed drawings of buildings, city-scapes, and figures due per week.

- Tai Chi Sword (DANC120): A class on the basic principles of the Tai Chi sword form, including sparring and other partner exercises. Yes, it's a class. Yes, it's fantastic.

- Senior Thesis (BAST405BM): A 200-page work involving six articles written in a fictional world of my creation, along with six model weapons, two masks, and ten drawings to be exhibited at the end of the semester. 750-1000 words due each day. 46 pages currently completed. Deadline is April 17th.

In summary: I have a @#$%ton to do. I like this thread. I like teaching. I wouldn't have put this up if I didn't want to do something every week. But with a recently cracked computer screen ($300-800 to fix) and obligations every single day, this is my absolute lowest priority. That you get this long of a response from me when I have work due tomorrow is tantamount to a miracle*

**;dr: Sit tight. If I can review, I will review. Do the new assignment in the meantime.
