Twice canceled
The last two days were slow and a little disappointing. Yesterday I spent most of the morning reading and thinking about the meeting that I expected to have with Matt at 12:30. Since storytelling is not limited to "normal" books I read the graphic novel Sunny Side Down (I forget the author's name) most of the morning instead of Inkspell (125 pages to go! In about two weeks I'm almost done). I also read another one that I can't remember the title of but it was written by the creator of Goodbye Chunky Rice (my absolute favorite American comic book). His name is Craig ... something, it starts with a T. So I ended up at the coffee shop where I was going to meet with Matt about 10 minutes early. He wasn't there yet so I had a quick lunch while I waited (chicken sandwich and chai, yum). I waited... and I waited... and I waited. It wasn't until it was already 1pm that I finally received a call from Matt saying that he would have to cancel because he was running late at his accountant's and probably not going to get away until 2pm. SO we set up our meeting for Thursday. I spent the rest of the day at home with more reading and some writing. Today started off similarly. I read and then I finished up with the first run through of editing in my book (yes, I finally got through it all). Then, just as I was preparing to leave for my meeting with Matt, I received another call. This time his excuse was that he was busy trying to get a book out by the end of the week and wasn't able to make it again. That makes three days in a row (Tuesday, which was our original meeting day, Wednesday, and Thursday) that meeting with him were canceled. However today he did promise that he would send me my edited manuscript to me via priority mail and once I get it tomorrow that I should review it and then call so that we could go through it together. Thus afternoon was spent reading Frederick Douglass' autobiography My Bondage and My Freedom and visiting with my friends at school along with picking up a writing book from my Humanities teacher Rachel.
