I'm officially in the next phase of the journey. I "heard" back from the first letter I sent out. It was your standard generic form letter. I wasn't naive enough to think that I was that lucky to have the first one hit, but you always hope. If you didn't, what would be the point of doing anything? So, it stung a bit, I'll admit that. But, it's process. I'll keep plugging away.
Meanwhile, I'll continue to write. Yesterday was so busy for me. Grades were due. As I drove to work, I had had some clarity in dialogue I had been thinking about. I had saw the scene in my head and knew, in general, what was happening. I just couldn't hear the dialogue clear enough. That is until I drove to work. I had worked it all out. But, I had little chance to jot it down - even parts of it. I stayed at school late (until 5pm and school lets out at 2:15pm) - tutoring and working on grades. I hadn't eaten or drank much all day, so by the time I got home, I was wiped. All I wanted to do was write. To have the sanctuary of my characters to clear and relax my mind. But I was so tired, and had other random things to do around the house. I felt flat. Once I got a few pages written, I was feeling a lot more like myself. I don't think I quite got the words down that I had thought about that morning, but I'll working on that and I'm pretty happy with what I ended up with... for now. Who knows... it may change before all this is done. Editing... it's nice to know I can do it.
