Update Link: Chain Reaction – Part 30

We’re back, and in our old summer time slot! I’m writing at 11 and posting at 12, because it helps me remember to actually leave my office and stop working, lol.

I’m really glad I took off last week from scheduled writing. I finished summer school on Wednesday, and then spent the last four days relaxing, sleeping in, watching the Olympics, and playing the Sims 4. (The new expansion dropped on Thursday, and I am OBSESSED). I also got caught up on the last few assignments for my online class. All that’s left for that class is the unit plan, which is basically done, and the paper due in two weeks. I’ve even just about finished the content and materials for my first two weeks of classes! The goal for the rest of August is to finish the first units for both classes which would be AMAZING.

I did, however, do some really important writing work. I finally sat down and finished figuring out the changes for the second half of These Small Hours. The book is going to be about 70 chapters long with an epilogue, with 20 chapters edited. Starting today, I’m planning to work on editing at least 2 hours a day until I return to work on August 26. I don’t know yet how much will get done, but I feel fantastic about this second draft, and I hope you will too when you get to read it 🙂

Thanks for your patience as I navigated this summer and the changing demands on my schedule. It was so worth it to teach summer school and write curriculum — the extra financial resources are going to make so much about this upcoming year even better!

See you on Wednesday!
