As I Read Ever, Ever On


I realized last night when I looked at my clock at 2 something in the morning that I’d literally been reading for 15 hours yesterday.  I’m not really sure what this says about me, that I’m perfectly content turning into a hermit, that these days are sometimes the happiest because it gets me, at least in my mind, out of my apartment with it’s mice that like to chitter chatter in the walls, and that it wiles away the days as the snow falls outside… Gaah, I really gotta get out more. 

This notwithstanding, besides running my Kindles battery to nil, I delved through a manuscript that had been given me as the second portion of an interview.  This is a manuscript that was sent to an agency which then is to be read in full and evaluated on its ability to be published; yes, no, or yes- with revisions.  It’s all hypothetical in my case as the decision has already been made on it, this is just a way for agents to see how well potential interns can critically read things.  Huh, guess I got something out of college after all…

  2. Hopefully the manuscript was at least something that held your interest and that 15 hours of reading wasn't RE reading the same thing over and over in an effort to comprehend what the writer was saying...
    Best,
