Life update
1) I'm now considering getting my Masters in Professional Writing and Editing. I think this is my best choice of a graduate program out of (so far) an MFA in Creative Writing/Economics/Law.

2) For the final project in my Technical Writing class , we're getting into groups of three and writing/presenting a report on a controversial topic. My group's topic? The H1N1 vaccine. Nyeehhhhh... well, at least I can get to the bottom of it. Plus, you guys get a free detailed report about it!

3) Reading Richard Dawkin's book "The God Delusion." Interesting so far.

4) My mom's Chicken Divan recipe is amazing. Curry chicken, cheesy broccoli, rice - delicious. Bryan doesn't like it. Bryan is a weirdo.

5) Anyone else realize how unbelievably OCD I am when it comes to my entry's tags?

1) Awesome! Good luck getting the Masters. Maybe if I ever do turn "Foxthief" into a novel, I can hire you as my editor? XD

2) Good luck with the presentation, too. Tough topic considering all the slag out there.

3) Cool; let me know if it's really worth reading. I'd love to read at least one of his books sometime so if it's worth it I may buy it myself. As I'll have a house soon, it means I can have an OMGBOOKCASE for my books and for others.

4) Sounds pretty good, although I don't really like curry that much; me and spices are having a lifetime spat. :P

5) YES! But that's ok, we love you anyway.

Have you ever tried publishing your work? You should. I'm no professional, but I think Foxthief is off to a great start. If you continue revising and adding to it, I'm pretty sure a publisher or agent will take interest.

I've thought of it, but never tried to actually publish. I've been watching a few writers - horror writers, one fantasy - who have been around for years and... I know the business is super hard.

I still may try Foxthief though. My problem is that I have low expectations even if it is good - I wouldn't expect too many people to like it, or if it became a book, read it - and yet... who knows.

I may get the courage someday.
