Wow, that was so moving.
Congratulations on your achievement, though, in the end, only you will realise how much you deserve it. The feeling must be exhilarating! Half way through my final year of school, I can completely relate to your earlier feelings : the panic attacks ring especially true. Year 12 English Studies involves essay after essay, all void of creativity – I feel robbed of something I once found pleasure in. The end is fast approaching and my grades are only average. God only knows how many doors I’ve closed. I’ll make sure I buy a copy of the finished work when they ship to Australia. Good Luck!

Congratulations indeed; for getting this far along in the process and surviving at the same time!

How exciting for you, Petite! It’s lonely and arduous work, but now you have the prized draft to work from. It must be so refreshing to get to the point where you can transcend the heavy details and “be in the moment”, because that’s the best place.

And a new beau to boot! Excellent!

Congratulations, you’re a writer, anxiety and all. Enjoy the summer.

Damian is so right and creative, there should be a part for the commenters in PA2.

Now re: the toy talk, are we talking Petite Anglaise Doll that says Twunt when you press a button on her back? or are we talking Inflatable Petite Anglaise?

Yippee! Revel in it. Happy summer vacation. 100K words, even if you jettison 78K of them, is a significant accomplishment right there. Given the words with which you regale us regularly, you might retain more than that – better than most writers. Here’s to the new career! Isn’t that what we all *really* go to Paris for in our deep secret hearts? To get new lovers and become writers?

ohhhhh to be an extra (leaving comments) in the great movie of Petite! A greater dream could not be accomplished! I am usually lounging in my canopy bed, with a laptop and cheese of some sort while reading. Sounds simple enough! Hugs, this is fun.

Petite said, “My boyfriend (gah, I actually said it) …”

Petite has a boyfriend, Petite has a boyyyfriend! :-)

No, not Hugh grant as The Twunt. I want to do it – please, please, can I do a cameo as The Twunt!

And who will play the commenters – you have to call us in as extras. We can be sitting in the background in cafes and things.

And Captain Anna (of Little Red Boat) has to do a speaking part – ’cause she’s had formal training. She’d be dead good. Actually, Captain Anna should play Captain Anna.

Cate is Australian.

My boyfriend (gah, I actually said it) has a soft spot for Cate Blanchett, but she is older than me… And beautiful, but not me. I still vote for Winslet. It has a lot to do with her performance in Extras.
