So...
I went all the way out to Hyde Park only to find out I didn't have to be at rehearsals last night. Argh! That's ok, I got to watch CSI Miami instead :P Yup, total couch potato. I don't think I have a muscle in my body that isn't sore! But I'm excited because I just talked to my friend Scott and the theatre he works at really wants me to start teaching dance there. Woo hoo! Don't ask me how I'm going to fit it into my schedule...but I will! (sleep is overrated. really. and maybe if I say it enough time my body'll believe it :P)
I printed out Trish Cramer's three latest chapters and did my first read-through of them. I'm really enjoying her story (Keelie Queen, for those of you on the workshop), I just wish for her sake it wasn't so close to Robin Hobb's Assassin series in some ways. Because I think that will make it difficult for her to sell it, but it's definitely publishable (IMO).
And I also started revisions of Deep Enough (originally titled Sorrow of Earth). Most were small nitpicks from reviewers, but very helpful, but I'm struggling with the ending. I think I want to expand it, have a scene with her mother's reaction to finding the pot. Anyone out there have any thoughts on this? But I have to say I'm proud of the story, I think it's definitely the best short I've ever written, which is exciting. Improvement is a good thing :) But that means I want it *perfect* before I sub it. Because I think it may have a shot at a pro sale, and that would just be too cool for words :P
Talked to my sis on the phone, giggly girl-talk. We're both having guy issues, and parts of our conversation felt like weird flashbacks to high school! Is it that we never grow up, or that men never do? ;) Also made plans to meet a girlfriend for lunch this Thurs., and another friend on Sunday (which I have off from rehearsal) for a big 'ol Irish breakfast with Jen and a friend of hers who's in town from Dublin. (I don't care about the food. As long as there's plenty of coffee, it's a good breakfast to me!). Am listening to the soundtrack from the show and singing along (quietly) to practice. It's great music, but some of the harmonies are tough. Esp. when you're up on stage and no one standing near you is singing the same note! :P It means I really, really need to know the music.
That's it for today, going to go back to revising Deep Enough. Wish me luck!
