Life in the Literary Trenches

[felis_ultharus]

Just a post to announce that I'm not dead.

I've been reading around the clock. I finally crashed this weekend. I only read about 20 poems yesterday, and a third of a novel today.

I calculate the absolute minimum I need not to crash and burn on this exam on Friday is reading 2.7 novels. I'm a slow reader and two of them are long novels, too -- long, but very good. I'd also like to get more poetry read.

I have had a bit of a social life. jenjoou throws a great party, and anime nights have been fun. I'm enjoying Last Exile.

Better news is that I finally finished my heavy edit ofmy novel, and now I'm doing my final, lighter edit. I calculated this would take about 4 days, but it's going to be more like 20, given my reading schedule.

And on the subject of my writing, my public reading at Zeke's gallery is now online. It includes a few paragraphs from my novel. I'm proud and very embarrassed at the same time -- no one told me it'd be web-accessible :/

...which indicates how bad I am at skimming, since you said you didn't have the link :/

Now am I'm beginning to wonder if I've gone senile, because I can't remember ever reading my material publicly before.

Well, if you're just going senile now, I suppose that gives me a five-year window to get all my useful work done before I lose my mind... ^_~
