Zut alors! She has emerged!

Yes, I'm back! It's been quite a while. How long has it been since I last posted on here? Sheesh, it's kind of weird that I can feel guilty about not posting, but it's kind of true.

What have I got to say for myself? I graduated! And I worked! And I did a lot of sleeping/resting. I caught up on some tv shows too. It maybe wasn't the best use of my time, but it felt sooo good to relax!

I think I came out of my tv show binge faze yesterday when I needed to have 5,000 words ready for my WIFYR group. The conference is coming up! Two weeks! I had more than that written, but I think I'm kind of an eternal rewriter, which perhaps comes from me being a sort of "by the seat of your pants" kind of writer. Essentially, I hadn't worked much more on my story, and I wasn't too satisfied with the pages that I had--at least not enough to send them in to get critiqued by my group. So, yesterday, starting at about 4pm, I wrote. By 11:30pm, I had just under 5,000 words. Even though it's still kind of iffy, it's much better than what I had before. The submissions needed to be in by the end of yesterday. I don't think I realized just how inspiring deadlines can be.

Mostly, I can't stop thinking about my move to NYC! I may start a new blog that is all about the things I discover or don't discover. Or perhaps I'll just keep it all on here. I have a ticket though, did I mention that before? I did indeed buy a plane ticket. I'll be out of here on June 24th, so just a few weeks away. I have a place for a couple of months at least (on Manhattan!). Now I'm just waiting. Good thing I have a brother's wedding and WIFYR to keep me semi-busy until I leave.

I'll probably be more regular about posts now--no more two-month gaps.

By the way, did anyone pick up on the Beauty and the Beast quote??? Extra points if you did!
