A Few Things

revenaOk, first, I realised in the shower this morning that I never actually got around to saying "April Fools" after my joke post on April 1st. So, on the off chance that someone believed it and is still worried... Yeah, I was joking. No worries!
Second, I got my second draft of my thesis back yesterday. I think Prof. Ulreich liked it a lot more than the first draft, and he told me I should be proud of the work I've done, which made me all giddy-happy. He said to sit on it for a little while and then go back with a clear mind and smooth things out and clarify points and so on. I am -so- -excited- to be told to not think about my thesis for a bit.
Third, I actually did update the in-continuity Valmai stories last night. OMG! FINALLY! You can read "Justice" here, if you missed my last post for some reason.
Fourth, I am at work. Work is not terrible, but it does not precisely engage the brain. I usually spend most of my time when filing plotting out storylines and points of dialogue and so on, and it's always a bit frustrating, because I can't sit down immediately when I think of something and start writing. The best I can do is to make cryptic little notes to myself on my sticky note pad.
Usually, I eventually break down and ask my beloved flist for distraction. Today, I am doing that with a twist - instead of giving me links, give me a story. Doesn't matter how long, or what about. It can be a true story, a made-up story. It can be about you, or a character you've created, or someone else's characters (including mine, if the urge takes you that way). All I want is to not be the only one telling snippets of story, today.
