I was raised Catholic and actively walked away from it at 14 but continued on at Catholic school through graduation at 17. It's amazing to contrast my experience being in a Catholic environment and learning religion vs. being in the scholarship environment of Comparative Religion courses.
I'm sorry to hear about the cold causing you problems. I've been having mobility issues for several months and I'm hoping the coming summer will finally ease them. I'm trying to avoid knee surgery but as each year passes I'm beginning to think it might not be an option. I'm going to fight it to the end though!
I have two revisions due in the next two weeks and then edits on my summer release. After that I have a 60k due July 5th and another due September 5th, so it's a little crazy on my end of things right now. Book one of The Angelic Prophecies is going to be 80K and hopefully done in November, December at the latest. That's 200K in 8 months, doable if it flows but a little crazy considering I don't know what the rest of the year brings.
I've spent the last year as a statistic of the recession. The non-profit I worked for closed its doors last March with little warning. There was supposed to be a follow-up service that we were all eligible for later that year, but it never materialized. There's been financial considerations of course, but it was the best thing for my writing. After a very long pause I finally got my second publishing contract last July, had a Christmas release, got my third contract in March that will have a July release and should be hearing back on my fourth contract sometime in the next week with eagerness for me to turn in book three by July which would be my fifth contract and release in December.
All of that is possible because I was home. I don't know what happens when I'm back in the workforce. Right now it looks like I'll be back in the game in June, full time, benefits, the works and I'm grateful, I truly am. I'm just concerned.
Okay, It's almost 4:30am here, I should go and sleep. Have a wonderful day and I'll talk to you later. Are you on facebook?
