Weekly Update
I've been up since 5:30 this morning, which is entirely too long in my book, so forgive me for any typos or other mistakes.
I hit 3000 this week, as I have for the last few weeks, but I did it in a totally different way. Last Wednesday, for some strange reason, I got an idea for something and ended up writing a simple 4000 word story -- and ending it. Four hours, four thousand words, done. Shortest story I've written... in forever. But it works, and I've gotten a few good reactions to it, so we'll see if anyone else likes it. In case anyone's interested, it's over at rsc_writing, so go look if you want. I don't have a title yet.
The yearly Xena con was this past weekend, and it was fantastic as usual. Hudson was there -- love Hudson. And while Lucy was onstage, she brought out an old friend -- Claire Stansfield! I'd never seen them onstage together, so it was kinda cool to have them going back and forth. The whole audience went nuts when Claire came out. I was on my feet before rhi_silverflame had registered who it was, I think.
So, something else happened at the con. I was kind of -- well, I want to say I was offered an opportunity but it was more that it was dangled in front of me and I was told that if I want it, I have a hell of a lot of work to do. I won't say much about it, after all, don't want to jinx anything, but let's just say April is looming large -- such a long time away, but really just about 8 weeks. I could either fail spectacularly or achieve something I had only dreamed about.
I had an interview for the new position at work. It went well, I think, but I won't know if I got it for a couple weeks yet. I was actually the first person interviewed for the job, and was told I set a very high bar for everyone who follows, so -- here's hoping. Again, no expectations. You hear me, universe? No expectations!
