Hi everyone,

I'm about to post another fic (I haven't written anything fandom-related in ages.) and I realized just how long it's been since I've used LiveJournal. Basically a full year. Which is both completely mindblowing and really weird. I'm not sure how I feel about it, honestly. I haven't been entirely absent from the internet--I've been

Yay you're BACK! At least briefly.

Right now I'm tutoring K-2 graders in reading in Minnesota and waiting to hear back from the grad schools I applied to. What about you?

I can try to be back more permanently...it's a little bit ridiculous, the send I had published this post I was overcome with a huge nostalgic desire to make icons and things. : )

ALSO, it's very exciting talking to you again! It sounds like things are going well! What are you planning to study in grad school?

Right now I'm in my last year of undergrad, worrying lots about next year (I have my city and job categories of choice pinned down, at least, but I need to start actively looking). I'm theoretically writing a novella for my senior thesis, which is pretty scary and exciting. : ) I think that's all the major stuff.

History! Hopefully. We'll see where I get in...

Ooooh, a novella. What's it about?

[radio_silent]

Definitely keep me posted though!

Still working out the plot details, but the best one-line summary I have at this point is that I'm writing something in between a thriller and drama about an idyllic suburban family that disintegrates when the five-year-old son starts believing his father is a werewolf. Which SOUNDS incredibly weird, maybe. But I'm pretty excited about it.

Is his father actually a werewolf?

[radio_silent]

I don't think so? There's a rational explanation for everything and the boy stops believing his father is a werewolf when he grows up. But I want there to be that tension...

Also this whole project began as a short story from 4 years ago where the father WAS a werewolf and there was no son at all. So that makes things a little confusing when I try to figure out how I want this to work!
