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 :/

I just meant that I prefer to be published in paper rather than photons -- I don't think of Web publishing as real, or I'd already count myself as published :/

Maybe that's an old-fashioned view, but it is how I honestly feel.

But thanks anyway. I couldn't find it, but if you do remember anything more about it, let me know!
