My webmaster will be proud I am finally posting something. I have time because I’m between spring semester and summer school. Hooray. I am getting a little rest, pleasure reading, working on some projects. I was recently promoted from instructor to tenure track asst. professor, where I teach. It’s a big deal. I worked hard to get it.
How do you teach 4 classes every semester and also get some writing done? Breaks. Breaks in between semesters. Eventually I’ll have to learn how to write even during semesters. More than I currently do, anyhow. This fall, actually, I have one course off for the first time since I’ve been teaching here. So I will have my Fridays to write. Divine.
This summer I’m hoping my cowriter Herman Wright and I will finish the novel based on real events we’ve been working on for awhile, ARVETTA. It’s taken some time to fine tune the thing, but we both care about it a lot. Writing is tough stuff. All the revisions. But that’s the life of writing.
Off to bed to read MIDDLESEX. It’s a good book. Long. But good.
