New Loves and Old Flames
Nov. 13th, 2007 02:54 pmI know I haven't updated in a while, but that's because I've been wonderfully busy. What with writing novels, writing papers, reading books, etc. it's been a busy month.
I spent the weekend at my roommate's house. She lives in Mountain View, CA, which is maybe an hour drive south of Berkeley, right near Stanford. While there, I did almost nothing productive, but I did watch maybe six movies and write a lot and go ice skating for the first time ever.
The novel is going rather well in terms of both wordcount and content. My main character just met the man she's going to fall in love with, although she doesn't know that yet! The Write-a-Thon is this Saturday, so I'll be busy at work trying to get everything together for that.
My second and final short story of the semester is due tomorrow, and this project is much less ambitious. The first story was 20 pages; this one is 7, and it wasn't written from scratch. It's actually a rewrite of something from sophomore year. Nonetheless, I feel like I've put enough energy into it that it reads well. It's below the cut, if you'd like to read it (see, it's even short enough to fit in an LJ entry).
I'll be coming home for Thanksgiving, but I expect my weekend to be quite busy. Though I'm not sure, at the moment I think that Friday might be my freest day but I can't promise anything. Call me and we'll figure things out because I do want to see all of you.
