(no subject)

So, quitting the big bang seems to have been a good move. I feel more relaxed becuase i'm not constantly thinking about how I need to work on that story. The downside is that I haven't really touched it either. Maybe I just needed a little distance. I'll get back to it soon enough.

I have been enjoying doing other things though, like some garden work that desperately needed to be done. I started reading this other book (the latest one in a series that's taken me like a year to read). I grabbed a slab of foamboard we had lying around and started plotting out details for each book of my Penny series. I also picked up the first draft of last year's nanowrimo story, looked at it and then set it back down. haha.

I also got sucked back into ancestry because I found an obituary for my g-g-grandfather's sister which listed their parent's names. YAY! they had parents! parents who's names I can read! other than that I know nothing about them, nor can I seem to find any info on them. oh the frustration. I hope to find something eventually, but it may involve going home and heading to the library where I will need to sift through stacks of microfilm, going crosseyed in the process. I can't say I'm looking forward to that. why can't everything be catalogued and searchable online RIGHT NOW?? :(

My final writing class is next tuesday. It's been fun, and worthwhile. It's been nice hearing how everyone has improved since the beginning of the class. I look forward to utilizing the information I learned.

Well, I should eat something. Have a nice weekend.
