Short update:
Maybe. Is it ever really a short update with me? As Heidi would say, there's no way to know.

First and foremost, because a few people were asking about it in comments and other places, I did finally hear back from that last school I was waiting to hear back from, and unfortunately I did not get into the MFA program there. However, judging by the email I received, it sounds like I was on a list of potentials and was just far enough back on the list that they filled the acceptance list before it got back to me. I was definitely bummed by the news, but I'm doing my best to take it all in stride. In a twist of irony, I got a lot of writing done the night before I got the rejection, and got just as much writing done that night, so I think that if nothing else, it's done a lot for my motivation to get my current projects done. It's a pretty fair trade-off, all in all.

At this point, my goal is to get the first draft of The Meteor done in the next week. The Meteor was the book I spent NaNo last year writing, although by then I was more than 20k words into the first draft, and right now it's sitting just shy of 85k words. I've got a scene and a half left of the main book, and then an epilogue to write, which in theory is doable in the next week.

Did I mention my roommates are getting married next weekend? That's going to complicate things a bit. Ah well, worth a go anyway, I figure!

Interviews:
You should read this one. It's a great interview with reddaverocker about his book series, bullying, self-care, dealing with success and failure alike, and several other things.

TheGalleryOfEve also interviewed me, if you want to pick my brain a bit. :D
