I dunno about you, but I like getting phone calls. It's pretty much great. It's weird to think that in Italy I will be cut off from this most basic tenet of American life. But sending letters could be way more fun than e-mail, so who knows? We'll see. I refuse to fret.
The dragon lady rewrite is not going well. Not at all. I read over what I wrote the day before (or the week before, or the month before) and realize that it's crap. And not only is it crap, I am not sure what it needs in order to be amazing. And then I get stir-crazy and unable to sit still and focus on the story for more than five minutes. So it's a mess. I was all set to send some of it off, and then I thought, what's the point? They'll only have to tell me that it's terrible. So it's still sitting in my computer. Anybody got a spare flash of genius lying around? Anyone? Or at least a spare mental hug?

I personally find that it's better to just put it out there, even if it is "terrible." It makes you move on to the next step of things. Critiques also help identify what is working, so you know what to keep and work from.
But, I still need to decide when I'm going to look at my screenplay again. That philosophy may change.
Mental hugs all around!
Mental hugs of dooommm!!!
In other news, I love you.
Maybe you should let it sit for a while?
Sorry... any genius available is automatically diverted to accounting. Lots of mental hugs, though!
Spare mental hug!!!! I wish I had genius to spare, but I don't have enough for myself either. Sorry. :(
*hugs*
Poke.
Can you really hear the train @ home too?

I love you guys too. Your mental hugs rock. Maybe I should let the story sit for a while... maybe I just need to remember how to write good, and if I do some other stuff it will come back to me?
No, I can't really hear the train at home. It's just a song that I really like. It is kind of weird to be home and not hear a train, though, now that you mention it.
