It’s almost hard to believe that there’s only three more weeks (or so) left this semester. My beginning-level classes are behind and there’s little time for review let alone another complete chapter. They still have an oral exam (a sort of conversation/interview) which means more grading, and I’m already behind enough when it comes to handing back papers. I have three final exams to write before dead week because I have to get approval on each, and there are still compositions and revisions to be turned in. I hate grading, but I really need to spend just a couple days working on grading and nothing else.

Which sucks. It sucks moreso that I’ve gotten back into my writing and have written a couple more pages in Book Two. I guess I’m going to have to keep putting it off…at least for three more weeks. After that, I should be able to spend lots of time working on the novels. Three more weeks. I just hope the inspiration stays with me. Three more weeks. Then I can breathe.
