That (the workshopping of my story) went...way better than I ever could have expected it.
We usually spend 15 minutes or 20 minutes on a story, then the teacher "bashes" it and gives some long-winded suggestions and we move on.
Well today, I went first and we spent from about 9:35 until 10:15 or so talking about my story. People seemed to like it, none of the people that usually say "I just couldn't get into it" had anything bad to say and even the teacher said everything seemed to work. Didn't offer up his crazy "This is just an idea I had..." suggestions like usual and everything they said I could look into changing was miniature details that don't really change everything...just make things better.
Little things like that, apparently, put me in such a good mood.
