Quick post, I'm woozy-tired

changelingAaaand I made the same mistake as yesterday. I came home and cooked. 'Twas Lemon Chicken. Yum, though there was not enough cornflour in the house to thicken the sauce properly (I had enough to make it the way the recipe says...)
Went in to uni, workshopped.
"What?" I hear you say. "She seems to do nothing but workshop!"
This is broadly true. Jess, myself, and a selection of fellow students from Novel get together on Wednesdays to workshop outside of class time. It's actually far more useful than workshopping in class, especially since it's a smaller group. And Greg understood the way I'd been using the clothing of three of the Shadow Boys to signify their rank (while Ben M just queried it, so he got it to some extent, too). Wh00t! Greg (the person who compared me to Neil Gaiman, if you can remember back that far), queried me on my use of "New Bug", which kinda surprised me. I assume sometimes that everyone read the same books as me, viz. the Molesworth series, also Sandman #25. Jess, who hadn't read them understood how I was using it, though, and liked the "ladybug" comment.
It's so satisfying when it all works.
Oh! I forgot! I got a cool bit of praise from Ben:
"Really enjoying the spooky atmos though. It breathes here, it really does."
It may seem like you're hearing about the Shadow Boys a lot. There's a simple reason for this. It's eaten my life, the way NaNo does, but at least that's just in one month. This will be the next seven months (if all goes to plan), or slightly less than that if I work hard.
Now my workshop group's read all of it (well, Jess definitely has. Other people might have missed one of the sections). Guess it's time to write more.
