I'm sitting at a bus stop waiting for the always late #33. Really. It's almost midnight, but luckily, one of the neighbors has an open WIFI connection, so here I sit, blogging.
It's been a full day. For once, in a long time, I got most of the stuff I intended to get done, done. A friend and I even met at a cafe and wrote from 7-9 pm. On the Thursdays that aren't Writer's Meeting nights, I'm inviting the member to come out and write with me. It's a no pressure deal, so I expect few people to actually show, but you never know --these folks are dedicated.
Anyway, tonight during our 7-9 write, I revised a short story AND submitted it to three markets, which was more than I expected to accomplish tonight.
So I sit here and blog, feeling a bit full of myself tonight, because I also completed the revision to the second third of my novel (the middle) and. emailed it off to my writers group right on time.
And finally, right before I started this blog entry, a motorcyclist sped by blaring Tubular Bells theme to The Exorcist.
Yeah, its one of those days that turned out pretty okay. Now, if the #33 would show...

Thanks Kate and Charles!
And Calendula, thanks for the support...hope it feels like it's going somewhere!
How does your writing group work? I really like the idea of writing together with other people, even if it's not collaborating in projects but more like a study group.
Cheers,
Carlos,
The writing group is a novel writing group -- we critique one novel at a time over a 6-week period (we reive 1/3 of the novel every two weeks). Between each novel, we have a "reading", where we read to each other something we're proud of -- this night is NOT about critiquing, but solely a time to appreciate each other's talents.
The Thursday Writes is all about setting aside a few hours to write in the company of other writers...
