Believe it or not

I just read through the first 100 pages of my novel pretty breezily. It flows a lot better now! It still has one or two kinks near the beginning, but I think I can fix those in the next few days.

I will be done by Monday. Whoo!

This Saturday, I am going to be a judge in the Scholastic Writing Awards at one of their sites in NY all day. I'll be reading student essays and short stories and stuff. I'm curious to see what kids are writing these days.*

*I entered the contest once, in eighth grade, with a true story based on my Lhasa Apso dog, Dexter. Didn't win. (And no I'm not bitter.)

Aha. Now I think I'll go to bed before 2 a.m. for a change.
