readingredheadWell, I finished my first draft of my short story. I havnen't really done much revision, and I don't know if I'll have a chance to before I have to print it out tonight, but at least it feels like something I'm okay with turning in. It's too long to post on LJ, but if you send me an e-mail at readingredhead07@yahoo.com, I'll send you a copy. Don't worry about reading it and getting back to me before tonight; in all likelihood I won't have much revision time anyway.
I'm cold, because as a punishment for not writing I opened all the windows and took off my sweatshirt and my socks. There's something about numb toes that encourages me to get moving! But, since I'm done, I can put those socks back on and curl up in a warm blanket for the rest of my homework.
I'm doing pretty well, all things considered. Thanks to everyone who commented on my last post; I wasn't in the best mood when I wrote it, but I'm feeling much better now!
Another acknowledgement goes to Rebecca, whose infinitely more comfortable computer chair I have apprehended for the process of writing the last part of this story.
Also, a thing about letters: I'm sorry but I haven't had time to write or send any for a while. I have letters written to Luke and Richard, but they keep getting returned to me. I haven't written a response to Katherine or Corinne yet. I probably won't until sometime next week. My history midterm is a week from today, and while I'm not really worried, I do want to feel as prepared as possible. I don't see any reason why I shoudn't ace this with flying colors. But, this means no updates (or more infrequent ones) for a while.
Final item of business: I raised the $200 I needed to go to the Write-a-Thon in San Francisco. I'm really excited about that. I skipped work today to write the short story but I'm going in tomorrow morning and I really still love being there.
