ah, so all is good. i have worked out what i am going to say on monday night, which is not saying i think it'll work or anything - there's only one way to get that question answered. it's a bit different from stuff i've done before - at least i think it is, but i'm not sure anyone else will agree with me on that - it's still about being different because i'm indian, but now it's starting to cross over to the darker side. here's hoping someone finds it amusing.
nelly sent me a short email from frankfurt airport - i gave her a copy of my manuscript to read on the flight over. it's funny, the whole email apart from the greeting is in caps cause she was struggling with the german keyboard. she says she loves my novel, which is nice. as a matter of fact, it's put me in a great mood even though today is technically the monday of my working week. i know it sounds weak, but waking up is hard to do even if you're doing the spiritually fulfilling but financially challenging four-day-fortnight.
i don't know if i've already said this, but i hit fifty thousand (good) words on monday. yay!
i think the tram i catch to uni is a great motivator.
i get to see penguin head office three times a week now.
