Capstone

Next year, I will be spending a good deal of my semester on a capstone project--a piece of writing.

For my capstone project, I would like to write a collection of short stories, most likely science fiction. I have been writing a lot of them recently, and I really enjoy it. I'm actually working on a few at the moment for submission in various publications. I think this will be a lot of fun, but maybe not so practical.

If that doesn't work well, I have had the skeleton of a book bouncing around in my head (and my moleskin) for a few years now, and I think it's about time I get it down on paper. The capstone project would be a good way to start this. I have written little bits and piece of things I'd like to include, but I haven't actually started anything.

Lastly, I'd like to work on my travel writing. I have stories and observations from spending a semester in Prague and traveling around Eastern Europe, and I'd like to write them down and make a collection at some point.

This is everything I've though of up to now, and I think any one would be an interesting project for my senior year.
