I'M WRITING A NOVEL!

Which isn't scary at all.

Nope.  Not remotely terrifying.

I'm also getting this blog up and running, writing poetry, a one-woman show about Mt. Everest, and a plethora of emails at my day job telling so-and-so that such-and-such called.  It's safe to say I like words.

Having performed my own work at storytelling shows and dabbled in poetry for years (finally working up the courage to begin submitting them; hooray, me!) I never thought about attempting a novel.  But I took a class with Matthew Specktor in which he suggested that a short story was actually a novel-in-waiting.  It felt both like a compliment and a kick in the crotch.

So, here I go!  Yay!!!!!

(Hiding under the covers).

(Still hiding).

(My bed is really comfortable.  Can't I stay here and watch episodes of MISS FISHER'S MURDER MYSTERIES on Netflix?)

(The nagging voice in my head says "no."  What a bitch.)
