Sliding Across Iowa

[cathschaffstump]

I like the snow days better. Yesterday, I read Kirsten Cronn-Mills YA novel, revised a short story, finished a book on the Borgias, and watched Hot Fuzz. Oh, and I checked a batch of papers.

Do you see what I could do if work would just get out of my way? But yes, I am back at the grammar mines today, just about to embark on a trip to put some quizzes in the test center.

I want to thank fellow fighting VP 13'ers. I put out a call for help on a story and 7 of you responded. One of you has even written back already. You guys are awesome. I can't imagine what would have happened if I'd written the whole workshop. I'm not worthy. Remember, if you ever need the favor returned, the karma account is full.

I'm happy that my usual patterns of impatience in writing are giving way to the more zen path of having other eyes look at it so I can strive toward perfection (go get 'em, Grasshopper!) It really is a joy to put something out there that you're happy with AND others have gotten.

More writing tonight, although I doubt completion. Crystal Vision was four pages and written in a language style known as affluent Iowa contractor.

The Suzy Twain story I'm trying for a style I'd like to call ornate hallucination. We'll see.

Stay safe in the snowpocalypse, Easterners. We'll keep digging out here.
