Everything together with duct tape
As it happened, I sent in "Oh, the Places You'll Go," under that title (instead of "Layover"), to my mentor for workshopping. Which, immediately afterwards, I was second-guessing. Usually, to me, that's a good sign. This time, maybe my pessimism has gotten the better of me, but I don't feel quite the same way. If there's an upshot (and I like to think there is) it's this: I knew it needed some revision work done on it, so on that measure it might have been the right thing to send. Mostly what I'm not sure about is my module-mates's potential responses to it, which -- you know, I've gotten bad notices before, so that won't be anything new, and I'm not so much feeling a need to impress them (or, at the moment, anyone) so the pressure's off. What I come back to, in the end, is that my approach to writing is different enough from everyone else in the group that it feels from time to time that we're not hardly speaking the same language, and I'm a bit nervous that they won't understand what it was I was trying to do in that piece.

Saw "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "The Aristocrats" yesterday. Both quite funny in completely different ways. Tim Burton's doing some awfully good drugs these days, and Penn Jillette managed to make a 90-minute documentary about a joke interesting.

There's more I want to say. Most of it's about my private life, specifically what's going on here at home. This just isn't the place.
