As I sit at my in-laws’ house, watching the rain fall from the sky in buckets, I feel the urge to update.  Not that so much has happened, just a need to start my week with a blog post.

First and foremost, in the words of Alice Cooper, School’s Out for Summer!  Yay.  Time to write, write WRITE!  My goal is to finish my novel before the WotF workshop.  Honestly, I need to finish it before August.  My hope is to finish my first draft by the end of June.  Much wok to be done, as you can see from the status bar, but not an unrealistic hope.  I’m working out a work schedule with my wife so I can consistently progress.

I got a rejection from Asimov’s today, a very nice personal-ish form letter.  Nice story, bad fit, look forward to your next.  I’ll send them E.E. once it’s rejected from Analog.

I assisted my wife yesterday (incidentally, my birthday) as she photographed a wedding.  It was stressful work.  I’m still wiped out from it.  On the upside, I “earned” enough to buy the new Prince of Persia video game, just in time to distract me from my novel endeavors.  No playing during scheduled writing time.

The rain is finally letting up, so I’ll be heading home soon.  Home to write.  Or play?  We’ll see.  Something will get done tonight.  🙂
