Zombie-riffic!
This weekend has come to an end far too quickly. Yesterday I made up for the exercise and piano practicing I didn't get done on Friday, and today I did almost nothing but work on the zombie story revisions. There were some brief breaks for food and an episode of Firefly on DVD, but otherwise, I was productive girl. I'm about 3,600 hundred words into the revision, and the story as a whole is now about 300 words shorter. I'm sure that'll fluctuate, and I think the story will likely remain in that harder-to-market novelette range, but whatever. The point is, I'm having fun. Writing the first draft was a slog, and there were a lot of moments when I wondered why I was even bothering. But the revisions are going well, the first draft wasn't nearly as craptastic as I had originally thought it was, and I'm enjoying what I'm doing. I've missed that feeling.

I haven't said this nearly as much as I should have because I've fallen off the grid a bit, but it makes me really happy that you're staying on top of all your resolutions and such... even with the job and all the family stuff that's gone on. That's great! You should be very pleased.
I hope that you'll let me get a read of this zombie thing once you get a draft you're happy with. *needle needle*
(Also, one episode of Firefly? I don't think I can watch one episode of anything; I always have to go four or five. Your willpower is mighty, and I am envious.)
Glad to see you pop back onto the radar. :)
I'm actually rather amazed I've kept up with the resolutions. Feels pretty good. Exhausting at times, but good.
And I'll certainly let you read the long-winded zombie tale when it's done.
