Hello, kind friends.
My apologies for not getting to this sooner--I was in Greece for a week without Internet. Yes, Greece has Internet. But, you try asking an older Greek man who hasn't seen a pair of young, freshly tanned American legs in months. I am almost glad I couldn't understand him. Even if I wanted to get on the Internet, there was a solid communication.
However, throughout my time in Greece I was thinking about my capstone project. How does publishing a children's book connect to the COR? Am I tapping into Aesthetic Expressions by the illustrations? Am I taking the skills I learned from Concepts of Community by finding and illustrator? Does this mean I should change my project to the collection of character pieces?
By working with character, I suppose I am working with my Rhetoric skills, My Aesthetic Expressions skills, as well as my skills found in Concept of Self & Community.
To be completely honest, which I love to do, I feel like I am bullshitting this. I DON'T WANT TO. I just don't see the connections between the COR and the program when considering this project. It's all Greek to me! Out in the real world, I can see how my skills will kick in--but ask for this project. I'm just lost. Please, hook me up with some suggestions. Or a few words of encouragement. Please, help me!

Down To two
I have narrowed my Capstone Project ideas down to two.
After looking at my classmates and professors comments, I have realized that two of my topics have a much larger load of my writing. Those will be my two topics.
To help my own writing skills, I think my project focusing on character would be better. I can also see this helping other students at Champlain in multiple courses. I remember doing lots of character work in Jim's creative writing classes as well as Eliot Sloan's course when we wrote our memoirs.
However, I would love nothing more than to share my story of what I realized were my "daddy problems" resolved. I found love in this world, and it filled a void that has existed since I was 7. I have a collection of works ranging from poetry, letters, and short stories from my experiences around the world--literally.
However, there is one more idea that I would love to do for my Capstone Project. I would love to publish my first book. It is called The Banny Nanny. I wrote this story in Tanya Lee Stone's "Writing Childrens Literature" course and have been dieing to go somewhere with it.
So, give it to me. What do you think?
