19 August 2008, Tuesday
Hello Everyone,
I just got home from tennis lessons. I ache in places I didn't even know existed. I'm heaps tired. And it is winter, freezing cold, and I was prancing around in my shorts and tee because I simply refuse to wear long pants or shirts. Stubborn you say? nuh-uh. I say I'm just being ME.
Yesterday night my laptop gave me a scare when the whole screen turned white and I had to shut it down - YAY for me and my unsaved work. I really need to get a USB and save my work there. My laptop is becoming an unreliable source with bad habits of shutting down out of no where! But I lost my last USB with all my writing in it, so I think it's just as bad as a computer!
My writing is in dire need of a critique. I would like to enter it into the Golden Pen for feedback. I heard it's got great critiques and useful advice. However, with all my work and no time to sleep, I'm afraid that I won't have time to revise it to send it in. I don't know if it is a good thing to enter a half finished, unrevised draft into a serious contest just so I can get feed back. I feel it's also unfair to send in a second rate piece of work for judges to view. I'm still undecided and time is running out. Oh well... "maybe next year". That's becoming quite a familiar quote to me now.
