There are few things more exciting to writer me than the moment when a story starts to take on a life of its own, and spins off in a direction I didn’t expect. It’s awesome, except when I think I am just about done with a story, and the spinning off requires a massive rewrite.
*Sigh.*
I am having a blast with this story, and the irony is not lost on me that after getting my grad school application completely, finally, totally submitted, transcripts and all, and feeling like I completely, finally, totally bombed it, in the space of one week I’ll likely generate a nearly complete, fulfilling story that is longer and a heck of a lot more fun than the portfolio I worked to assemble for six months. Of course, I would never submit this as part of a grad school application, unless M.A. stood for a very different kind of degree.
