Hello, you beautiful thing
IT IS DONE! My thesis has been accepted by the Grad Studies Department at Emerson College, and I am all set to graduate in a week's time. It feels like it's been forever and also no time at all. Now I have to to learn how to write without due dates
Today is the DAY! At 2:00pm, I have my Master of Fine Arts Thesis Defense with two amazing professors. I’ll be getting much-needed feedback on my Thesis WIP, titled DROWN. Fingers crossed!
I preordered this, planning on going to the launch party, but a medical procedure prevented me from attending. Then, March got filled up with thesis writing & zoom calls, and I forgot to pick it up from the bookstore until today. Can't wait to read this one!
Last night, had a Zoom call to get me set up as one of the new Social Media Team volunteers for the Horror Writers Association. It’s not much, but it feels good to help out.
Last night, I submitted 103 pages of my Thesis WIP to my Reader. Now, I just cross my fingers and wait until my defense...
Had my final zoom meeting with my Thesis Advisor. Finishing my edits to present my manuscript to my Reader. Next step is my Thesis Defense and then Graduation.
One week until my next meeting with my thesis advisor, and 26 days until my thesis is due. NERVOUS.

Your writing has such a clear, compelling, and at time humorous tone that makes it uniquely yours, which I also noticed and loved!
