A scattered, tired, here's whats happenin post
I am very tired.
A song came up on my iTunes and it made me really nostalgic for high school. I don't actually want to go back, but seriously guys, I am one lucky girl as far as what high school was for me. It's interesting how music totally puts you back. Like, that song takes me back to high school drama. And the Backstreet Boys makes me think of the old bedroom I had in California when I was twelve.
I still like Clay Aiken. I admit that freely.
Graduate school applications are all in. Well, I have to do one more post-office trip and we still need the letters of recommendation turned in (THANK YOU DRS. T, L, AND Y). I'm very glad to have that done, and now comes the wait. 50% of the schools I applied to are in the deep South. (Hello Vanderbilt and Ole Miss!). More if you include Florida and Missouri, which aren't really deep south but they're...ya know...South. Guess we'll see what happens.
I have five chapters done of Novel #2! It's coming, guys. I'm starting to get into the scary middle part, but its still looking okay. It feels mostly the same as writing The Keeper, but I guess its touching on different personal issues because this time my main character is a thirteen year old girl. Closer to me than a forty-year old man, I guess :)
Still querying Keeper to agents. As much as I want to I hesitate to put all the juicy details as it happens, because that just seems unwise, but at some point in the hopefully not-too-distant future when I have finally gotten my yes and everything is all settled you guys will get the full story.
How are your projects going? What do you want for Christmas this year?
