New

This week has absolutely flown by. Mm cliches. My submission was critiqued on Wednesday, and it went well! I was a bit freaked about it, but I heard a lot of what I knew, and some things that I did not know. I'm looking forward to revising my thesis again once I'm back home.

Right now I'm working on a new piece (short story? novella?) of which I have 1,500 words. I need about 8,000 but hey, it's a start. I got most of the words out while hanging out with Locked, Atlantean and Hand. It's stunning to be writing, look up and ask how I should write an action scene, and get three valid, descriptive responses. The story is high fantasy, a step aside from my usual YA stuff. I love the idea. I'm not sure I'm executing on it well, but I'll know for sure next week when we critique it.

I seriously will take photos of the group this weekend. Seriously. Otherwise someone should bug me. Or comment about the lack of photos.

I've been into town every day this week except for today. I slept for two hours this afternoon, which was glorious. I have to say I think I do feel better because I've been going down 3,000 feet. Tomorrow we'll go into town for pizza, which I'm stoked for. It'll be nice to get off the mountain with everyone.

The writing of this blogpost was sidelined several times, so I'm sorry if it's disjointed. I'll plug Nancy's blog one more time because she fills in all the gaps that I'm missing here. And she's hilarious.
