Bits and Pieces

One person has finished Piper's Debt. They gave me some very good feedback which I will keep in mind during my next edit. I'm hoping to do this next edit sometime before the summer so that I can begin sending out query letters around then.

Meanwhile I'm working on some ideas for both Duty's Tomb and The Shadow Waltz. I'm not sure which one will be the next book to get my entire attention. They're completely different stories, though one has a lot more headway into a rough draft than the other.

As for the other parts of my life, they're still driving me mildly crazy. I wish I could find a set direction, but that never seems to work out for me. I once spoke about this with my mentor in grad school and he mentioned some eastern based theory about how some people are meant to live multiple lives at once. It's an odd idea, but at times when I'm feeling like this I find myself thinking back on that.

In other news, I'm trying to get myself to do some little exercises and stretches each day. I also try to eat salads, and chose grilled chicken over fried, little things like that. But then I get a stack of candy in front of me and eat all of it. I don't really need to lose weight, but would like to feel a little more fit. Maybe feeling more healthy would give me the energy I need to do at least a few more of the many things I want to.
