In The Beginning...

I'm sure it was the title of this blog that originally drew you in. You were probably wondering who could possibly claim to have the entire works of Shakespeare contained onto one blog. And you're right, I don't, at least not yet. But I can assure you that by this time next year I will have the complete works of Shakespeare posted on here...or at least I'll be close. My goal is to give my readers a study guide, an overview of each Shakespeare play. My goal is to post an overview of a scene each day, but I can't guarantee I'll have the time for that. Hey, I'm a college student, which means my list of duties is incredibly long; studying, homework, laundry, parties, hanging with friends, shopping...yeah, it's a tough job, but someone's got to do it. So cut me some slack, I do enjoy my social life and would like to keep at least some semblance of it alive. But I will try to post everyday, and my hope is that I'll end up spending about a week and a half on each play, but we'll see if it actually turns out that way. So when I miss a day just remember that you were forewarned, and please don't bite my head off for it. I love my followers, let's keep the relationship a good one. I don't want to have to file any restraining orders or kick anyone off my blog. You might also get the occasional update on my life, or an inner reflection. If you want to read more of that you can check out my other blog One Of Us. Unless anyone has any other requests I'm going to start with A Midsummer Night's Dream since it's one of Shakespeare's greatest comedies, along with being one of my personal favorite plays by him. And for future reference, feel free to make requests for plays you would like me to do, and I'll do my best to fulfill your requests. My policy is first come, first serve, so if you're doing Hamlet for a school project I'd suggest making an early request. I hope you all enjoy this blog as I go through all of Shakespeare's many, many works. Oh, and just so you know I am including his more famous sonnets in this (no I will not include ALL of his 150+ sonnets in this), so if there are any particular ones you want me to cover ask me.
