The novel is starting slow.  Almost painfuly so.  I don't want to get into it right now because there are plenty of reasons to be hopeful.  But it does feel like I am climbing up a steep slope, believe that their is a much easier climb if I can just get past this first part... but not being able to see over the ridge, I can't be sure.
Sketch class had a sub teacher.  He had good notes, but I felt like he thought he was running a group of writers for a specific show, and not a beginning sketch class.  He also got very flirtery with the one woman in class.   Whatever.
Improv class last night was frakin awesome.  Just good work by everyone.  Very very funny.  I personally felt very in the moments.  There were times in my scenes were I suddenly let myself give into emotions (in the scenes I got to kind of cry and in the group game I initiated I got have a ranting outburst).  And suddenly I understood so much of what I was missing.  I felt like I was gifting myself and gifting my partners.  It was a great feeling.
