Time Passes And No One Notices

I have been busy. Between school and work and trying to spend time with my boy, I feel as though I am being stretched to the limit. It seems to be calming down at work now, as people are beginning to take time off; however, it still seems as though I am running in circles.

Despite this, I have had a number of triumphs. One of the science fiction magazines that I subscribe to has accepted one of my stories to include in their spring 2011 issue. There are a few edits I need to make to the piece but it's going to be published. Finally. The editing group I belong to has asked me to edit their policy and procedures handbook which will be published and distributed province-wide in the fall. I can add that editing credit to my resumé which will help me when I write the certification exams later this year. My novel has recieved attention from a few interested publishers which has lit a fire under my ass to get it done. Since it is a very awesome piece of literature, I can't say that I blame them for wanting it completed so that they can share it with the world.

All in all, good things are happening. I know that's not why you read this; you'd rather read a rant about old people or rudeness on the subway that I have experienced. While I can always rant about something or other, this time I just wanted to share a bit of happiness. I realize it isn't as entertaining, but I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me for being so damn happy and secure in my position in life.

For once.
