I wish I could say that my time away from this blog has been oh so exciting and therefore, I have a lot to tell. I wish I could say that. It hasn’t been uneventful, by any means. School has been a lot more involved. For the first time, I’m teaching three different literature classes … Continue reading

Polishing
I put this off a bit at the beginning of this month, mostly due to a wedding I was in (#8, by the way, if you’re keeping track of my bridesmaid adventures). But I’ve made myself sit and work through this very changed draft of Phase. Mostly, it’s tweaking, but when the major changes come later … Continue reading

The edited pile is larger than the unedited.
Now that the rights are back in my hands…

The rights are mine which means I can do pretty much whatever I want with Phase and Shift. They could sit in my computer till doomsday if I wanted. But I … Continue reading
Summer is ending
I have a mere ten days left of summer break and I’m completely on the other side of the country. Knowing that my family and I will be crossing a good 3000 miles in a mere week is daunting, but it’s been a good trip. We’ve seen friends and family (my extended family, but cousins … Continue reading
