Re: Shout your happy news to the world!!!

It's in, it's handed in! After a stupid moment where I was suddenly told at the office that I had to write an extra three hundred word abstract. Managed to knock it out pretty quickly, at least. It's dooone.

Had a bit of wine already, and we're off out later. Mayhap I'll do my infamous misspellings a little later if I return

I actually celebrated the end of my dissertation/Masters/education as a whole in a special way. Feels weird, especially after five years but...I had a bacon sandwich!

Re: Shout your happy news to the world!!!

Perhaps, Hoopy, your subconscious is revealing its worries about some of the ham acting your screenplay (and its many successors) may have to endure.


And Congratulations!

Re: Shout your happy news to the world!!!

Im pretty content with my personal life at the moment, i went back to University to study Literary Science program and also im working part time on several nights in a month that gives me enough at the end of the month so i dont need study loans.

Im taking literary class because its fits in with the master program im taking afterwards to become a librarian. Not having time to read your own books because you are reading classic epics,classic novels,classic plays for class to analyse is pretty fun. They are works i planned to read on my own anyway.

After 5,6 years of just working after high school without any plans for the future im calm,happy with my life now that i have clear goals

Hope i wasnt too serious with my own small slice of happiness,being content with myself.

If it'll help, we'll be pleased for you for you.

(And it's no imposition, Conn: we're pleased for you on our own behalf. )

Re: Shout your happy news to the world!!!

Thanks guys, no imposition at all

I just got homework in epice writing class to read Jane Eyre,Crime and Punishment,Madame Bovary. I will be busy for weeks not books you can read in a day or two.

Lucky enough those are classics i have never read since i dont like re-reading and prefer a challenge,new experience of reading classics.

Re: Shout your happy news to the world!!!

Crime and Punishment is a great story, Conn!


Myself - I'm starting to feel better at last. Still have to wear a surgical mask if I go out though

Re: Shout your happy news to the world!!!

At the end of this month, it will have been two months since I graduated from University and also two months of me surviving on my own, entirely on art. Am currently struggling to break even (which my man says is when "I've made it"), but just the fact that I haven't had to go out to get a 'real job' yet feels so amazing.

Re: Shout your happy news to the world!!!

Well done, JenJen - that's awesome!

Yesterday I finally finished revising my alternate history fantasy novel, after fixing some minor issues picked up by beta-readers. So now, if/when I get a request for the full manuscript from agents, all I have to do is export it from Scrivener, double-check the formatting has turned out OK, and send it off!

Right, on to the next book...

(And yes, it's backed up to multiple locations!)

Oooo How does it feel, Anne?

Another Scrivener user as well. A clear indication of great taste!
