Orcs, Hannibal, and Film Shoot

My orc story in creative writing was workshopped today. The professor pretty much gushed about it and then everyone else did too, with some good critiques in there as well and suggestions and confusions that I can totally clear up in the next draft. I was blushing and giggling and SO HAPPY. I'm pretty sure mine had the most positive responses, people seemed to have the most fun discussing the elements. My professor was impressed at how much information about this fantasy world I crammed into 4 pages double-spaced, without it being too much or too overwhelming. (Thank you years of fanfic! : D) Many people said the fight scene was good, and they loved the characters. I am so happy. No longer scared about workshop classes (which I'd been warned about by other people, some of the workshop classes are awful.)

The next class stressed me out, there were tears, it was not fun. I'm so busy, it's crazy. Shooting a movie this weekend. Anyways, went to a meeting with a friend, about the movie, and first we talked about that, and then we chatted about Hannibal and movies and books and ended up chatting for more than an hour and it was lovely. He's been abroad for a while so it was nice to catch up. And so relaxing. And just what I needed. I feel good. Tired, but good. Excited for the film shoot.
