06/24/2005: "Contests and Revisions"
Okay. So, I'm finally back home for a while. The Girl and I left the day after returning from our backpacking trip and went to spend a few days with my mother. I am sadly, truly addicted to the Internet. I think it had something to do with my firewalls, but I couldn't log on while I was there. I was one step shy of curling into a fetal ball of withdrawal when we got home and I dialed in last night. 
I was actually most anxious to download my 5 and 1/4 page revision letter. I won't start them until next week when The Girl has day camp, but I need digest time. I have to mull it over a bit before I jump back into the book. In the interim, I'm about half way through critiquing/judging unpubbed contest entries that are due in mid-July and then I need to work on my workshop for National.

"Some men admit they avoid confrontation (about breaking up) because they’re afraid we’ll cry. Of course we’ll cry; we cry at Hallmark commercials. What they don’t understand is that we’re not crying because of them, we’re crying because now we have to get naked in front of someone else.” -Cindy Chupack, TV writer
