Okay, so no posts the last two days because I was working on my paper. Turns out, I was able to do the whole thing in two days, Sunday and Monday. I stayed at my job until 9pm Monday getting it done. I was on a roll and didn't want to stop because I knew I could finish in time for the game. So I worked on it for over 7 straight hours and got it done. Yes! I think it turned out fairly well, and I think I can conclusively say (as far as such things are said) that Alice Munro definitely had a copy of Chekhov's "The Kiss" opened in front of her while she wrote "Floating Bridge," which essentially is the Chekhov story told in reverse. And I spent about 18 pages proving this. In the meantime, I found a great library to work in, and I'm now free (until the next class) to work on my writing and my office to get more done. My next goal is to move the two or three stories that I still haven't sent out yet, plus work on a few more. I also joined two other writing groups, both much closer than the one I've been going to for the past two years, so hopefully that's all good. I'm very excited about all this. I'm looking forward to writing more, and writing better.
