I’ve been busy...
...doing work with my group Congo Action Now (CAN).We are hosting a vigil in Harvard Square
Saturday, 2-4PM. Stop by!
In terms of writing, I finished a novella and plan to use the majority of the long weekend to edit. (I’ll
tell you more about the novella later.) I’ve put editing on hold for the past four weeks, indulged in bad TV and wine drinking. My new gourmet food is pan popped popcorn, lightly salted, with a lovely glass of cheap read wine and a piece of chocolate
(or two) to finish. So good! But I must, must put a** to seat and DO WORK. I have several new projects I would like to begin…
I’m also taking a children’s book writing class—only attended two so far. I have a feeling the best I will get out of it is the feedback. You really can’t put a price on feedback. The class has reminded me how much I love school—the learning and work associated with making a piece the best it can be.
Plus I’m kicking around a couple of new ideas in
terms or marketing myself. But I am only in the brainstorming phase.
As always I am submitting my work to EVERYONE and receiving many rejections. Oh but it is
lonely at the bottom. Ha! Ha!
It is difficult staying in contact with friends. There is so little time. I go from work to home and back again and during the free moments try to write or edit or submit or everything else in between. Well, I’m sure I’m not alone in this and winter can be a great time to bury oneself.
