when I saw it was time for a change
Sep. 3rd, 2003 09:57 pmI sometimes get myself into things that I have difficulty pulling off.
Case in point, volunteering to do a presentation on Lucifer to the weekly religious study group I belong to. Last year, I had volunteered to do a similar work. But, that one was actually on Luciferianism. However after attempting to research this for about two weeks and finding nothing but a bunch of crap webpages with dripping blood bars, I ditched that and asked to change the topic of my presentation to something else.
When we were working up our calendar of lectures/presentations the other week, I was feeling my oats and once again suggested I do a piece on Lucifer. My mouth opened before my brain could put a stop to it. Again!
My presentation is due to be done this Sunday. grr.
I've been researching for about three weeks now, but I'm coming up against the same brick walls that I did the first time go round. This time, however, I've at least managed a proper outline. I'm not entirely satisfied with it, though. And I'm not exactly happy with the information I've managed to gather, it's kind of lacking and I'm going to need to do some serious carny talk to get it to sound like something decent.
( outline on Lucifer )
I'm also going to have to really pull something brilliant out of my ass for the opening and closing statements. Those have never really been strong points of mine in scholarly writing.
So far, I've written everything except for the sections on Luciferians, other deities similar to Lucifer, and the closing. I think I might actually take a break and finish this tomorrow afternoon. My brain is boggling.
