*Whew!*Been busy. Veeeery busy. But... the first draft of "The Unlikely Adventure of Race and Cookie McCloud" is done, edited, edited some more, and done again. Then edited a little more and done for a third time. But done.
I'm excited about this, I really am. A real sense of accomplishment comes along with the simple act of finishing a whole piece of work like this, true, although now the slog of submission starts anew... but I'm also really excited that I can step back from "Race and Cookie" for a little bit (but just for a little bit) and finish up that second draft of "Writing in a Vacuum". And start adapting and updating my old teen rom-com screenplay "Just Debbie" into a YA novel. And start work on the second "Race and Cookie" adventure. And continue pursuing the stage adaptation rights to... something else.
Eventually one would hope that I may someday get paid for all this work, what with all the effort I put into it. Truth is, though, these days it's just as realistic to hope to get published as it is to hope to get a full-time job in academic theater.
Oh, yeah... almost forgot. In addition to all this? It's time to go after that MFA.
I'm going to stop listing things I have to do. It's making me tired.
But "The Unlikely Adventure of Race and Cookie McCloud" is done. So... that's something.
that is something
