I’m anxious about tomorrow night.  Tomorrow when my group meets, I’ll be getting my first critique back  from the others.  I’m anxious to hear what they thought of it, and at the same time, I’m nervous too.  I know there’s millions of issues with my work: the MC is way to flat;  she has, in my opinion, no life to her.  I even feel as if there’s a scene missing! I want there to be more interaction between the MC and her ‘love’ interest before she runs off, but for the life of me, I just can’t see it! Also, in my haste to get my section out to the group members, I missed a few typos! Oh, it just keeps getting worse! But in the end, I know it will be all for the good. They either liked it or they didn’t, but I know that I’ll get some constructive criticism from them that will help me move forward and continue with my work.

In other news, I have been a busy little bee working to Cure! my little apartment. The Cure is something that happens twice a year, usually in the spring and in the fall sometime. Eight weeks of purging, cleaning, and redecorating your home! Both the book (Apartment Therapy) and the website are filled with tips and helpful suggestions, design features and good finds, and amazing photographs  and articles. The site has led me to other great sites like theFrugalgirl.com – great tips for saving money and recipes too; bright and blithe for DIY projects and vintage stuff!

Well, I’ve borrowed the book from the library and I’ve started a little early. I’m not really following the path laid out by the book, but I’m getting there I think. This past weekend I tackled the Master Bedroom and Bathroom. I cleaned out and with the help of the hubby, rearranged the bedroom.  And I’m so glad we did! I love the new feel to the bedroom and the energy it’s brought back to the apartment! This weekend, I’m going to work on the entryway.

Well, that and my novel of course!
