I will admit, I never though I'd be this motivated outside of an institution of learning. I started with 30 pages of a script for a play, and every night since I came back to my hometown, writing every night, it is now over 60 pages and ready for a 2nd treatment.
All those visiting authors were right. And that scares me.
On another note, I've received my first rejection letter from Electric Literature. For anyone unaware of what Electric Literature is, it is a e-magazine that claims to publish "the best of new and already established authors". They are a very attractive publication to submit to because they pay authors more than other publications. Because they are an electronic publication they don't have to pay for printing fees, thus allowing them to give more money to authors. My rejection letter was rather generic and read like a automated response, so I'll take this as a good sign that they won't mind me submitting again.
Here's hoping for the best.
