I managed to write 8 pages today. It's been awhile since I've done that.

I like the work I'm doing now -- it has more depth and more shape than anything I've ever done, and I've still managed to keep the previous lessons learned, about dialogue and characterization, intact.

It's certainly not as good as the stuff I'm reading (I doubt I'll ever reach Findley's mastery of the word), but it's much better than about half the recent novels I've read for my classes. This comforts me, because it may not be great, but at least it's publishable.

I'm keeping up with my readings, though barely. Goofing off too much. On that note, Final Fantasy Tactics is the worst-translated Japanese video game since Zero Wing's "All your base are belong to us." And yet it still manages to be great, and highly addictive :)

Tomorrow's a big day. First, voting in the municipal election (I'm going Projet Montréal right across the board), then an NDP meeting, then a Rufus Wainwright concert, which I'm very much looking forward to :)

Have a good time listening to the plaintive and dulcet cooings of Mr. Wainwright.
Speaking of concerts, I have an extra Dar Williams ticket for December 5th and I am looking for someone to share it with.
Con: You've probably never heard of her. Pro: She probably won't sing The Beekeeper, and if she does, it won't take her nine minutes to do it.
