Progress

Pilgrim's Progress Image from here.

It's been a frantic couple of weeks, but also -- a quiet period for the most part. The holidays were pleasant and almost idyllic, actually; it's been I that has been pushing myself into a rather frenzied state.

I have spent most of the past few weeks cloistered, and writing, always writing. I plodded on with my usual writing assignments and then I did my papers for my school work (the minor ones first). Then, I managed to buckle down and "finish" my first fiction short story so that I could have something to submit for my first ever fiction workshop. As luck would have it, my name was drawn up first and so it was with bated breath and half-eaten nails that I awaited the fate of my work. After all the drama and tension and self-doubt that I had put myself through -- it wasn't all that bad. It was pretty good actually.
