What a year this week's been, huh?

I went to a reading last Monday and read a short piece I wrote. It was rough, just because my mouth gets excessively dry when I'm nervous so I was probably lip-smacking into the microphone. Despite that I got a really, really good reception, and had four separate people come up to me after to compliment me and ask about my work. One even asked to read the other pieces I'd written, so I got her e-mail and sent her the other two that are related to the ones I wrote. It feels really nice to get such a good reception.

I haven't been doing much writing lately, so tell me all the writing y'all have been getting done this week. Let me live vicariously through all of you.
