Real Life Is Serious Business

cicerI'm officially on spring break, and thank goodness for that. I was getting pretty burned out there. Of course, I have heaps of work to do over the break, but at least I can sleep in. And I'm still really enjoying all of my courses, (more than halfway through the semester, which is a miracle itself) so it's not too much of a burden. I plan on spending the next week sleeping, sleeping more, playing computer games, writing, editing, and working on all the little things that need to be worked on. And did I mention sleeping?
Crossing my fingers in hope that I'll be able to get some new fic up within a few days, too. It's been an absolutely ridiculous amount of time since I last posted fic. I think it's been about two and a half months now. Sheesh. Well, I've got a couple of things that are almost done and in the final polishing stage, so if I'm lucky I might finish them...er, within the next four weeks, knowing myself. Hopefully sooner! Also, rec posts. I have about five of them half compiled, but I'll be trying to wrap them up and post them this week.
God, I love this course. It's so exciting. I've never really had a formal creative writing course, and it's really thrilling to be able to learn more about writing fiction. Also getting to do the whole 'workshop' experience. I had my first class review today, after I submitted my story last week. It went really, really well. So many people said such lovely things about my writing, and it made me incredibly proud and happy. It was a much-needed ego boost, particularly since I've been very critical of my own writing lately, and that's been hampering me. So I think I might be emerging from my writer's block and jamming a sock into the mouth of my Internal Editor. (I spelled that Infernal Editor on the first go. Well, it's infernal too!)
Anyway. This journal has been kind of boring lately, and more about my own stress and real life stuff than anything fannish. I'm going to try and turn that around. Help me out by talking to me about what you're reading/watching/listening to/whatever! I want to know what's making you squee at the moment.

jamming a sock into the mouth of my Internal Editor
I read that as "jamming a cock..." Ahem.
