Ok, NOW the nerves are starting to kick in.

I'm trying to be really balanced in my expectations because I don't want to be disappointed. I keep telling myself "just be happy you made it to round 2."

But damn, the waiting!

This. This times 10.

As a first-time NYCM, and a first-time screenplay writer, I'm thrilled I made it to R2. I like my Screenplay for R2, and regardless, I'm happy about the "feels" that this thing has given me.

But the wait...

I am not a person who waits well... Three more hours of waiting and I've run out of things to divert my attention away from this madness. Angry

Well. If you're also participating in Flash Fiction, do as I do and read stuff over there. I don't see a point in me trying to sleep, I know full well I won't.

So reading and commenting will be my game for the moment...

Hang in there!

Yeah, me too.

You'd think I'd be blasé. "You always lose in the second round. Don't even get your hopes up. You are fighting 'way above your weight."

Still...I COULDA BEEN A CONTENDA!

I'm having a hard time concentrating on reading! I also have a touch of headache, so I'm nervous. I get multiple-day headaches and was actually squeezing my head with one hand and typing with another while crying through a round once. Don't want to replay that one!

I'm sure the relief of knowing will flood something soothing through my bloodstream either way.

BEST OF LUCK, FELLOW PASSENGERS!

I also wanted to say thanks a million, Lynne, for putting in all of the work to organize things and for the wonderful energy, support and feedback. I wish I could buy you many drinks!

I didn't do FFC this time - props to everyone who did.

I'll be doing Fiction War for the first time this weekend, and so even if I don't get through I'll be writing no matter what. I'm definitely feeling anxious for the results tonight - the competition is stiff and so I know chances are slim.

Best of luck to everyone!!  

Juli

Me too! Most non-productive work day ever.

And it's getting us that much closer to midnight.
