wildcat

"Wild Cat Days" has been printed off a proofread and re-printed and stapled. It's ready to hand in. I still feel like the whole thing could do with another workshop, but give it a few days and I'll never want to revise it again.

Started working on the opening scene to If Life Gives You Lemons, Make a Meringue, which is going very well. Christian gave me a few ideas to focus on with regard to the first scene the implied gender-fucking that makes Meringue who she is. I may throw around some rough notes once the exercize is done and I want to actually plan out the arc of the novel, because the only real plan I have for after that first chapter is that Chapter Six is going to be "Moonlight over Mozambique." He mentioned some interesting fact about the nineteenth century British Navy which pretty much is required to go into the novel. Need to do some research into Barcelona.

I got the oddest compliment today, over Joy's cigarette: "I love listening to you talking about TV!" I don't know what this means. I really don't.
