Still waiting for feedback from my advisor. I hope he didn't croak from reading my story. That would be just my luck.
In the meantime, I've been working on bits of the novel to keep myself occupied and out of trouble. And just to keep working on it in general.
I've also discovered a wonderful thing to have on in the background while writing. QI on youtube. There are tons of clips available (although when you type "QI" into the search engine, you'll get a bunch of Asian film clips and Qi gong clips mixed in too, just so's you know), so I put a bunch in a playlist and let it roll while I'm working. It's funny and intelligent and comfy, and who else but Stephen Fry could host it? I mean, really!
There's even a petition to get it put on American television. And I can see why. It's far better than most of what's on now. I never thought I'd say THAT about a gameshow. Although it's a gameshow in the loosest definition of the term, as they go off on these tangent discussions almost from the start, and points are awarded more for interesting answers than correct ones.
And here's a lovely speech from Mr Fry to buck you up when you're not feeling your best:
