Changes to Bittersweet Schedule

Welp, I half expected this, but I’m glad we at least got through January before I had to make any changes.

I just finished my second week of student teaching and the amount of time I got to spend at home was…wow. Sad. I’m out the door at 6:30 every morning, I teach until about 2:30, I have a about an hour before either my second job starts or class, and most nights I’m home around 7 just so I can eat dinner and go to bed at 9:30. One night, I don’t even get home until almost 9 because of graduate seminar.

I haven’t had a ton of time for writing — I expect that to change as I settle in a bit more. I also won’t be working my other job three days a week, so that’s an extra night. But right now, I only have about ten chapters between what I’ve posted and what I’ve finished writing. I don’t feel great about a five week buffer — I feel lots better about a ten week buffer.

So…while I hate having to do this, I’m going to be scaling Bittersweet back to one chapter a week for a few weeks just to give me some more time to get my schedule straightened out and finish the last few chapters.

You’ll still get Workshop Sundays — and I might toss in a Micro Fiction one night if I can make that happen on Tuesdays. I’ll let you know for sure once I start having that night off.

Thanks for understanding guys 🙂 I’ll go back to twice a week as soon as possible! Let me know if I should be posting on Mondays or Wednesdays. I’m leaning towards Wednesdays to make the posting a bit even with Workshop Sundays. What do you guys think?

  • What I think is you need to take care of yourself. While I’ve enjoyed your current posting schedule, it’s not life or death and I don’t want you to wear yourself out and get sick again.

    Either Mondays or Wednesdays are fine with me; whatever works for you.

  • My vote is for Wednesday, but whatever works for you.

  • I was going to say the same as everyone else. I’m just happy to be reading some of your work. No complaints. Take care of yourself first. We’ll still be here. 🙂
