Me Right Now
All right, I've been silent for over a month. What's been going on?
Well, first off my parents decided to get a pool for the summer. It's one of those sort that you put up with poles and such. It's four feet deep and about fourteen across. Today, I decided to float around for a bit and read. But, the water was really cold. So after floating around for about an hour, sipping tea and reading, my rear is now frozen. I will probably wait until it's a bit warmer outside before doing such again.
Next, I have finished editing Piper's Debt and sent off letters to ten agents. I'm in an angry, bitter mood at the moment, so I expect to receive form rejections from them all. When I'm in a less bitter mood I think I have a chance with this one, but knowing how horrid the odds are I have moved right on to the next project and am about four chapters into it. The working title for this project is "House Elf." And no, it's not the Dobby sort of house elf though they both have roots in the same lore.
In other news, I've been doing a lot of reading, which isn't really that much of a news item since I usually go through about a book a week. I just finished another one of Anne Bishop's books, which was great. Anne Bishop and Laurrel K. Hamilton provide me with my guilty pleasure reading and I aint ashamed to admit it. Yesterday I bought two books by authors I haven't read and one by an author I have read, making my to be read pile even bigger. I like to stare at the row of books I haven't read and anticipate how fun it will be to read each one.
And finally, I'm awaiting the results from the CSET test. If I pass that I'll probably be able to do the credentialing program this next year. If I didn't, I honestly don't know what I'll do. And there is a strong possibility I didn't because that test was crazy hard. I keep trying to tell myself I can just retake it or use one semester to take the classes I need to fulfill the requirement, but I also have this strong need to move on with life and have my own place. I keep trying to shove those feelings down because I don't have the right resources yet, but it's hard. Ah well.
