I went to a concert!

Dec 04, 2010 10:03

I went to the most AWESOME U2 concert last night. We were sitting pretty high up, but the view was amazing and I'm pretty sure we had the best seat in the house, except for maybe the chick who got pulled up onstage to dance with Bono. I've never been to such a massive concert before. I went with Amie, who said there were something like 80,000 ( Read more... )

The concert sounds amazing. I love concerts - especially when I'm not being squished into pieces lol. Though, I really want to read The Iron Wood now - I can't wait until the day its in book form :)

Yeah, there's definite upsides and downsides to the general admission vs. assigned seats at concerts. I love being down in the crowd with the energy, but it's also nice to sit back and let it wash over you in a more relaxed fashion.

I can't wait eeeiiiither. My consolation is that even if it doesn't get published now, I can put it aside and come back when I've learned more and can make it better, and publish it later. If not now it WILL see the light of day someday. :)

Wow! Now I totally understand all the full requests! That was amazing. And, reading it gave me a mini-burst of motivation for my revisions (which yes, I am currently procrastinating from haha). Hard work=awesome prose.

And I love Adventures in Children's Publishing! Their weekly round-up is my first blog read every Friday.

Aww, you're so sweet! And yeah, revision is SUPER hard work! I know I should have done more on mine, but I just lost all ability to see where I needed to work on it. I think it's one of those thins you get better at with time and practice... at least I HOPE so!

Aren't they amazing over there? I don't know how they do that weekly roundup and still have time for anything else. It's SO comprehensive. I love it.

It is true, I am smart, good to have it right there in writing.

The concert was fantastic, and I love the image! I can imagine it now, and it fits. That scene always makes me feel a little bit nauseous... probably the only situation in which you can take that as a compliment.

Is it bad that my mind immediately started going over all the scenes in which I'd be complimented if someone said "That made me feel nauseous?"

Actually, it seems about par for the course.
