I was super-duper lazy today and didn't get out of the house until after 8:30. So of course, when I arrived on campus, there was no parking. I eventually found a spot a billion miles away. I guess I learned my lesson. Just because I'm getting lazy and tired doesn't mean the rest of the campus is following suit.

I am tired this morning because last night I stayed up thinking about the play I want to write. Continuing my odd obsession with Coleridge and Wordsworth. It was kind of nice to have an idea keep me up all night. That hasn't happened for awhile. I think I'm going to write the play and finish Strange Fits of Passion asap. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's still fanfic and based on sex. I guess I just gotta stick with what I know.

Wee! An agent replied to me today and requested the first 50 pages of Mad World!! I'm not going to have terribly high hopes--how rare is it for the first agent you query to accept you as a client? Pretty goddamned rare. Fairy-tale rare. I'm just thrilled that I got past the first hurdle! Hopefully they'll request the full manuscript before they send me the thanks but no thanks letter.

Wilco live in concert

If you go to www.wilcoweb.com, you can listen to a live concert, streaming over Quicktime. I'm listening to them now and it just makes me so goddamned happy.

Today has been a really great day. Even my pork roast turned out perfect.

I know I've been bitching and moaning a lot this month in my LJ. I just want to thank everybody who has commented and helped me and basically stuck around. I just love you all.

Encouraged by recent successes, I thought about revising Mad Brilliant and getting it up to publication standards. First I realized I didn't have it on my laptop at all, so I had to recompile it from my website. And then I realized it was much longer than I remembered (250) pages, and then I realized what an unholy mess it is. *clutches head*

I think revising a 1st draft into a 2nd draft is, by far, the hardest part of the writing process. Nothing else even compares, I tell you what.
