It’s been a busy morning of meetings that directly affect my future in the workplace at Kirkwood. Many of my fellow writers are rightly excited about when they have writing news that is good, but they can’t divulge it. Similarly, I’m sitting on top of work news that I can’t talk about officially until Friday, until after the board stamp of approval on it.
The reason I’m so bubbly about it is because it is good news for my writing life. It’s also pretty good news for my work life, incidentally. I can tell you that I spent a good part of today making my schedule for next fall, and I’m liking what I’m seeing.
I’m also very focused on the troll novel now. So much so that I find myself sitting down to write an entry here at the Tamago, and realizing that my creativity is elsewhere. I’m certain that the impetus to continue my conversation with the world of the Internet will return in force, but the maxim of having a book out to try to build an audience around is making itself felt in my life.
The weather is good. My prospects are good. My optimism is high. I believe I can dovetail the careers of a professor/administrator and a writer, which I had serious doubts about in recent years.
What’s been making you happy lately?
Catherine
