Be careful what you wish for

Between Tuesday and a few minutes ago, I’ve written three poems and revised “Death Magnetic” for Creative Writing. I also wrote up critiques for two classmates’ poems (two apiece). I am only halfway through one of the three chapters assigned this week. Class is at 5:30 tonight. Sigh.

Anyway, I posted “Nerves”, “But, Uh and Um” and “Headache”. I would love some constructive criticism on any of the poems I post, because every little bit helps (and I’m pretty sure I suck at writing poetry, so if someone could confirm that maybe I won’t have to write anymore of it).

I woke up at ten this morning and worked on The Cure Program for an hour. (Okay, less than an hour, but I was also researching different things as I wrote. Besides, Twitter doesn’t update itself!) I’m actually really pleased with the way it’s turning out. A seemingly minor — yet important — character has suddenly taken on a vibrancy of her own and has demanded to be given nine more chapters in the novel.

All I want to do is write — everything but poetry — and read. Funny, I wished that I could write more and now that I am I wish I could have specified. Heh.
