Insert Witty Journal Title Here

So far the pattern has been that we work like crazy during the week, then still have more work to do or just don't feel like doing much on the weekends. I got out today to the store, but it was the same CVS I'd already been to, so that wasn't even a new experience. I got myself new headphones. I had brought two pairs with me and they're both broken! Well, one isn't broken so much as the connector/converter piece is broken, so they won't plug into my laptop. We'll see how long these new headphones last.

Headphones are a necessary piece of kit. We're sharing this area of campus with various groups that move in and out and some of them like to throw parties at night. Imagine, loud music on a Friday night? People are writing here!

There's some sort of math and science camp called Cosmos here now, as well as an Esperanto group. Great for writers, if you're the sort to go out and talk to random people about their interests. Which I'm not.

I think I've read all the stories we're likely to get to in workshop tomorrow, but I've only written a critique up of one of them. Karen Joy Fowler is our next instructor. She doesn't arrive until tonight, because she was at Readercon. I'm jealous. Though I have no reason to be, since Readercon has been like half an hour away from me for /years/ and I've never actually gone.

Next year, Wiscon and Readercon. I mean it. Money or no money.

So far I've had one story workshopped, and it was as short as I tend to write. However, doing Jeff's assignment last week I'm going to count in my 'one story a week' plan. Because it was a lot of work and a great divergence from how I usually write.

I've done some noodly work with a story idea. It may or may not turn into the next story I submit. Which I need to do in the next day or so or next week's schedule will be all full up. Truthfully, it may already be. The group as a whole has been very prolific.

We're all still awesome, by the way. Greg said so.
