“Oh come on, I thought you were going to be the fun Katie,” he says to me, pulling my wrist and pushing his body against me, his breath tickling my neck as he speaks. Tim* (*Names have been changed) has been drinking as long as I have, since 9 am and it is now well past midnight, almost one. “Get off of me, Tim,” I say, twisting my arm in a way that doesn’t feel good, trying to relieve myself of his grip, trying to get closer to the door. “Oh stop.”…
Hey everyone! Quick update! I’m less than 10,000 words from finishing my Camp NaNoWriMo goal. Once I finish, I’ll post a more detailed post explaining all that went right (and wrong) with Camp. Let’s just say, it was not easy and I had to make my goal less words. But I’m determined to finish these last 10,000 by the end of the day on Wednesday!

In other writing news, I’ve just submitted my screenplay to the Austin Film Festival. I know it’s a long shot but I just had to do it. You never know…
