I am pretty close to submitting my short story to a publisher. I found this handy guide for Standard Manuscript Format. There's also this one which varies a little and is slightly more specific.
As I said, getting constructive criticism from Longacre was awesome, because now I want to re-draft Kiki but at the same time I'm a little sad not to be writing anything new. It's an addiction this writing thing, and I feel like right now I'm in an editing-only space. I have a few ideas for novels I could be writing, and I'm sure I could get myself interested in them but I know I should keep my eye on the prize, polish the manuscripts I have and try and get them published before I allow myself to go on a tangent.
I will maybe work on re-writing I know, right? (and renaming it) and a couple of other roleplaying projects to keep my mind occupied. Editing and redrafting are fun and all but they're not the same as writing new.
In other news I finished reading Meg Cabot's Airhead, which was incredibly good fiction. It's a slight departure for her, veering a little more towards the science fiction and a little away from her standard romance stuff. It still has all the Meg-ish character stuff you love but some very interesting messages about gender politics and appearances vs. reality. I need to lend it to someone so that I can talk to them about it. Chelle? Sok? Bueller?
PoF: Wonder Woman Hoodie. I can't seem to take it off.
CO: writing stuff and going to sleep. I love sleep so much.
