I'm still on a high from being able to finish my buqo YA story on time! I woke up on the right side of the bed and sashayed to work excitedly despite clocking in only two hours and a half of sleep last night.
I have received really positive reception and helpful comments from most of my beta readers already, and that just warms my heart. Tomorrow, I start editing. The final class is this coming Saturday already and because I wasn't able to attend the first one, I would really try my best to attend this time. It would be nice to see Mina again, meet my classmates, and gush over our shared success together.
Meanwhile:
READING
The edits sent in by my friends Alex and Anne who concentrated on grammar and voice of the story. For fun, I am also reading Raymond Carver's What We Talk About When We Talk About Love. I'm not even halfway through yet so I'm not sure if this is a valid opinion, but I feel I liked Simon van Booy's The Secret Lives of People in Love more.
WRITING EDITING
My buqo-sponsored Young Adult story Once Upon a Post-It.
LISTENING TO
Yellowcard's Hang You Up and She's Only Sixteen's Magic on loop.
SMELLING
The smell of success. Hah.
WEARING
A big smile that I can't seem to wipe off.
THINKING
Of more stories I want to write.
FEELING
Thankful that I have a job that allows me to do things that feed my soul.
LOVING
The support the people around me have been showering me.
You don't know how much these mean to me. Thank you so much!
WANTING
To reward myself for this achievement but I don't know what to get for myself yet. A dress? Meh. Shoes? Meh. I'd like to go out of town but I don't think I have it in me to go alone. I need someone to plan with.
NEEDING
To get more rest because I've been subsisting on less than three hours of sleep each day for the past three weeks.
WISHING
I can watch Backstreet Boys in concert with my Mom. She's a fan of the boyband so I'm planning to buy tickets for us to surprise her. Sssh. ;)
Lots of things to look forward to this week: The Voice Season 8, Nate Ruess's new song, two TOMS events, a Sample Room event, and buqo YA's "graduation" on Saturday! Have a fantabulous week ahead!

I can't go anywhere with just 2 hours of sleep unless I'm going out of town/country. Congratulations!!! I may be pushing my luck here but is it possible to be one of the beta readers?
