Come Back Friday

I have a big presentation of my system designs, stuff I've been working on for months. Tomorrow. Also, I'd like to wrap up the next chapter of my latest story, which I plan to read in class tomorrow. So big day coming up. There is a very nice girl at my office that is reading my work in progress, the one I started online a couple weeks ago, and has been quite complimentary in a way that convinces me that, so far, this is really working. She offered some great ideas about story structure that would maximize the suspense and final impact. I'm getting excited. Perhaps, just perhaps, I have started my first novel.

This was supposed to be a short story for a contest Dixie Belle turned me on to. But my goal is novel. Novel. Novel. NOVEL. Novel!

Catch my drift? I just have to go for it. Even though I have no idea where the meaty middle part is going--no, that's not true. I do know. Not everything, but I have an idea. The thing is, I have so many movies running through my head, and so many themes of unfulfilled promises in my life, that I am starting to believe I can do it.

I have to. Most of you who come by know exactly what I mean.

So come back on Friday. Better yet, I'll come get you. This week I need dedicate myself to getting my homework done.

Excellent! Glad to hear it. I have a book that I want to mail to you. If you want, I can ship it to Schprockie (he might be interested in reading it, too) and then he can get it to you.

Will do.

Absolutely Flood!

Bernita - I looked up Surgite and am totally baffled B! Is this your Jabberwocky way of telling me to go for it?!

Moni - I knew I could count on you Moni. Thanks.

Moni - Thanks again!

Kat - I really appreciate that Kat. Yes, I meet with the Schprock-man once in a while and that would work out great. I'm curious now...

Toast - See you in a few...
