Whoo Hoo! Story's Done!

Whew. I just finished and handed in my erotica piece. It's just over 900 words, which isn't too long, but I made each word count. (I'm pretty good at that.)

As relieved as I am about finishing, I now await edits. Feh. I believe it was Dorothy Parker who said, "I hate writing. I love having written." It's so true.

I hate the agony of chiseling and putting everything together, of having to be OCD about facts and numbers. It's painful. But once the piece is done and in the hands of an editor, well, I actually feel like a writer. (As opposed to all those shmoes in coffee joints around this town, waiting for the muse to strike via a double espresso.)

OK, enough writer-on-writer hating. I have other projects and goals to tackle, such as getting up to tap class tonight at 6:00 PM. If that doesn't happen, due to subways or whatever, there's a theater dance class at 7:30 PM. But I really wanted to tap.

Anyone know of any good auditions? I can both sing and tap. I'm a chorus girl extraordinaire. Shazam.


Oh, I'll have Meg's party photos back tomorrow night. They'll be up on Friday morning.
