Things of great excitement to me currently are:
1) The sudden realisation that when sung loudly and drunkenly, the theme song of Home and Away is actually quite moving
2) The also sudden realisation that I may well survive the next couple of weeks at uni and successfully reach the holidays
3) The grand discovery of Isobelle Carmody's great series The Obernewtyn Chronicles, and the amusement that comes with not having to wait 8 years or so for the next book...
4) I have FINALLY finished Draft #1 of the Mannequin Monologue to a degree I am happy with, and I have sent it to the person I am writing it for (Happy Birthday to her...) and am awaiting a reply as to what is wrong and needs fixing
5) The awesome children's cover art for The Graveyard Book (written by Neil Gaiman, out end of September) has been posted on his blog, and looks amazing. There is also dummy text which gives hints as to various events in the book, and has made me rather excited.
6) I recieved rather good marks (Distinction) in the writing task I posted here a few weeks back (the Discursive Writing one...) and I was rather thrilled by the comments; according to the marker I am one of about three people from fifty who can properly emply semicolons. In fact, I just did.
Have a sterling week. Blake.
