tanaiseWhen I was a senior, the freshmen boys were *hot*. There were at least a couple who had vast numbers of senior girls wanting them as boytoys. And I could never figure out why. It wasn't simply 'they're really good looking." I finally figured out that for many of us, graduation was big and scary and looming ever closer. And these boys were the opposite. They were youth and innocence, where we were age and experience. Every girl who I knew who was uncertain of what her post-college plans were was obsessed with a freshman boy. Not even so much in a 'I want a relationship' manner, but mostly in a 'I want to daydream about you" manner. "I want to be your age again." Oddly enough, I wasn't that obsessed with them, possibly because I had a long term crush on someone in my class. We'd get hordes of freshmen boys in our dorm room all the time, because they liked reading our magazines.
I worked on Red Sky yet again. Added about 500 words, maybe 1000 since the original? I'll have to check. Looks like about 700 since the original draft, though since I cut things, it probably was 1000 total. If this doesn't work, I don't know what I'll do. Maybe nothing. I do think this draft is better, at least. It's now chronological, but this does mean that my hook gets moved into the middle of the story, instead of staying where it liked being.
I bought a scarf to tie back my hair. Very fancy (silk, it is), but it's simple, plain, light-colored, and really exactly what I wanted. I'll probably have my mom send up some of my cotton ones as well, but I like having one that's actually moderately attractive looking. It's silver--plain, but so pretty.
