It’s been the usual stuff after returning from a conference, but I think I have the office under control. Except for phone calls, I’ve managed to get caught up from my vacation. Phone calls are next if time remains after writing this little ditty.
After Thursday, I will know officially what’s happening with my position here at Kirkwood. I can’t go into detail until things are official, but it looks like my life will improve substantially starting in September, 2010. It’s not good writing news, but it will be good news that affects my writing, providing everything goes as we think it will.
Tonight our book group meets, and we discuss The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger.
John Gibbs brings you home a list of 13 things he learned at the James N. Frey workshop.

This will be a busy month writing the troll story. I’m cutting here mostly because this is for me. Here’s the plan:
by April 2nd–2nd drafts of chapters 5 and 6
by April 9th–2nd drafts of chapters 7 and 8
by April 16th–2nd draft of chapter 9
by April 23rd–2nd draft of chapter 10
by April 30th–whole draft out to whole draft readers
In May, I’ll be tweaking the draft as changes come in, and working on the query and synopses. I’ll also be sewing.
Hope the writing is going well for all of you.
Catherine
