holy carp.

I printed out all 181 pages of my novel today while working at the computer labs. It is an impressive pile of paper - I honestly can't believe I wrote it all.



Yep, that's me and my novel. I loves it so. It's going to be put into a binder when I get home, and it's going to sit on a shelf for a month or two, then I'm going to edit the holy hell out of it. Maybe someday it'll be fit for human consumption. I would love it if people actually read my book, but I'm nervous. After all that horrid fanfiction I wrote years ago, I'm a little self conscious about sharing my writings.

Yay, nine minutes until I can go home and play with the deep fryer! Yesterday we made pumpkin fritters and hush puppies, and tonight it's apple cider donuts and pierogies. I think the deep fryer is the wedding present that's gotten the most use.

Purple prose.

Jesus H Christ, that's one big wad of paper you've got there. I take the opposite approach to my writing, I want people to read it, so I will make it publicly available when I'm finished, provided I can find a convenient way to share fifty-thousand words.

I'm glad you posted a photo, because I don't get to see my contacts that often. There isn't a non-sleazy way to say it, but you look really cute, especially with these purple headphones, which happens to be my favourite colour. ;-)

I want people to read my writing, but not until I think it's fit for human consumption. My novel's missing a lot right now, and I want to polish it before I set it free into the literary world.

And thank you! :D Purple is my favorite color as well (which is probably obvious, given my user name). And just telling me I'm cute isn't sleazy, don't worry.
