m_steelgrave & thorne_scratch for catching the Matilda reference. Two koala march cookies for you both. Check your mailboxes for your secret prize. Actually, Morgan, I need your email to send your secret prize. ^^;;
I'm trying to think of a witty reference to embed in today's post, but I'm so brain dead. I'm not sure that vacations really work the way they ought to. Yes, I was much better rested than I was. But I'm not used to getting up at 5:15 anymore. Of course, I could have gone to bed early the past two nights. But Project Runway is more important. And of course, so is my writing critique group which had a meeting last night.
It's such an awesome group! DANG (Dayton Area Novelist Group) is full of Nanowrimo participants who are trying to polish up what we wrote and get it ready to sell. Most people write fantasy, but even within that there's such a wide variety of stuff being written. Barely Fantasy, like me, funny urban fantasy/romance, Epic, comedy... And everyone's very talented. There isn't a story we're reading that I haven't utterly enjoyed.
And luckily for me they seem to like my stuff too. Last night was my turn in the hot seat. And it went pretty well. I got a lot of good advice and some very nice complements. Now I just have to write ch. 3 and rewrite ch. 4 for the next meeting!
