Changes

Lynn from Vision Loss Resources called yesterday and told me my name was next up on the list. I can start classes as early as April 12th. I asked if I could get back to her. She said sure, no problem. I need to check and see what all I have going on in April. I suspect that, because of everything (minicon, doctor's appointments, and basement work) I won't want to start until the 26th of April, if they'll let me wait that long. I'll post more when I know something.

One thing that will happen when I start at VLR; it will almost certainly put the brakes on the writing. VLR is a full-time school, 8:45 am to 4:00 pm, and if I bus to it (assuming the strike is over) I'll be leaving much earlier in the morning, and who knows when I'll actually get home. So I need to really write over the next few weeks. I can do the editorial work and re-writes during the evenings, but for the first draft I need time and few distractions.

So my goal, until I start school, is to write ferociously. Of course, I also need to spend about 3 days working in the basement, getting it ready for the guys who are going to install a drain and sump pump. I plan to start working down there today, and work in the basement the rest of the week. I just want to get it done and out of the way.

Which means there won't be any fiction writing happening until sometime next week.

Le sigh
