Good News Continues

I had yet another successful interview today with another East Coast school.  No word yet on whether they want to talk to me in person or not, but I feel like I did as best as I possibly could have, so no regrets, which is always the important thing in my book.  Other than that, today’s been a pretty busy day.  The conference just ran in the morning, so my afternoon was filled with work at the library followed by scheduling my plane trips for the upcoming interviews.  I think by the time all these are over, I’m really going […]

Commentary and a Headache and Sundry Matters

First of all, here’s this week’s commentary on Cavern of Babel.  Up to chapter eighteen, believe it or not. Second of all, I have a headache. Third of all, with me out of a writing group for now, I NEED READERS.  Yes, this means YOU.  Whoever you are.  Do you want to read one of my books in rough form?  Are you willing to write down when you get bored or confused, or when you laugh or like what’s going on?  Then email me or post a comment.  I have two books right now that I’m in the process of

Then again . . .

It’s hard to persist in being optimistic and upbeat when you keep getting daily reminders in the mail that people don’t like you.  Or at least like other people more than you. But that’s okay.  Because I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it–people like me. Too bad the people who like me don’t have any hiring capabilities. Anyway, tomorrow I have a phone interview, so we’ll see how that goes.  And in the “good news” category, the Lesana rewrite is going swimmingly.  I’m on page 116 out of 193 of the second draft.  I know it’s going to

Freedom(?)

So my son is up at grandma and grandpa’s for the next few days.  You’d think that I would be able to just lie around and eat bon bons all day, what with all the extra time this gives me.  But then I cleaned out my garage, cleaned the kitchen, searched for jobs, made lunch and dinner, wrote . . . and my time flew out the window.  Such is life, I suppose. Writing’s going well.  I’m actually into the real rewrite of Lesana now, and I’ve just finished writing two brand new chapters, after having chopped the previous first

Progress

So things are going quite nicely right now. Not job-wise. No news on that front. But writing-wise, I’m pleased to say that I have pretty much finished the restructuring of the Lesana plot, and so I’m about to move on to the next phases. The first thing I think I’ll do is reoutline the chapters–making sure that I have each chapter firmly in mind (what needs to happen, where, etc.) before I write it. Then it’ll be back to actual writing . . . well, revising. But still, this is very good. And I’ve also successfully put up an Amazon
