Back from the Abyss

Wow, I just saw the last post date - May 20th? Really? I guess I did get wrapped up in studying for my LSAT and neglect my poor blog. :-o

Well, that big, bad test is over and now I just have to wait for the scores to come through. Should be in my inbox by the 28th. Until then I'm just trying to stay busy and not dwell on it. So what better way to do that than throw mysefl into other projects?

Let's begin with writing. Tomorrow is the deadline for replies on a contest I entered in May. No email = not accepted. So, if I hear nothing, I'll be resubmitting that story to a print anthology. Also on the menu for this week is to polish up my space zombie romance (yup, you read that right) and send it off to a print anthology put out by the same publishing house.

Then I'll be working on two fantasy novellas I have in the making. One is a prequel to Somewhere, which a few of you have read in part on the WD forums. I've decided to make a novella trilogy (or possibly quartet) from that storyline; beginning with Pazia's story and ending with a story from Na'im's pov (he is only 3 when Somewhere takes place).

The othe story is about Ellivi'an. She is of a winged race called the Inefim. Her parents were murdered when she was young and she's grown up with a fierce hatred of not only the Pek'rahe responsible, but of their entire race. But she may just discover something that will change her mind.

I've also just begun the process of becoming a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer. I brought my self-study binder home today and go back in a couple weeks to meet with the director and go over the first three chapters.

I'll be posting a site of the week tomorrow at some point. I'll be posting two sites for each of the next few weeks to make up for lost time.




Think that's enough to keep me busy? ;-)

So, what has been keeping you busy/pondering/frustrated/etc. while I've been away?
