I'm feeling sick today, which is a shame because I really wanted to make some progress on the book, but I'm writing the BIG SCENE and I feel even more inadequate when my brain feels congested. Ugh. We're going to try, though.
My roommate and I watched Dead Poets Society last night. I cried. I love Robin Williams. Something about his half-shy smile and puppy-dog eyes.
The book is coming you guys, its going to be finished soon. Then its time for edits, which I'm hoping won't take as long as drafting did. I've spent so much time on the drafting, that seems only fair. I'm starting to do research on agents. Soon, you guys. Soon. Geez I'm ready to be done.
Short story collection is making progress too. Edits are finished. Maybe. Cover design is in the works. I may have to withdraw a few stories from submission but I'm thinking April 1 as a tentative release date. That's not a joke, by the way.
Job is great. I adore preschool kids, snotty noses and all. I only wish the hours and everything was more viable and secure. We'll see what happens there.
I think I want to start working on another picture book, too. Or a screenplay. Definitely a second novel, once this first one is done. Also I would love to learn to play the saxophone. And buy a turtle.
Happy Martin Luther King day. I hope you have a dream, too.
What's going in your life?

Dead Poets Society always makes me cry! Congrats on all the progress--sounds like you've been super productive!
Dead's Poet Society is one of my all time favs. You are a creative machine. Impressive.
Hope the head clears and the BIG SCENE pours forth.
I hope you are feeling better soon! It sounds like you have been keeping really really busy! You should be proud of yourself for all you are doing!

I love Dead Poets Society so much! Good luck with the big scene.
I like Robin Williams as an actor. However I did not see that particular movie. Will have to check it out in the new future.
At the moment, I am without laptop, so my writing has screeched to a halt. Which really isn't good since I finally unclogged my brain and figured out how to finish it.
