Apologies for quite the gap in posts. Life has been fairly busy over the last several months. A great deal of that blame can be laid down on my taking classes to earn a Library Media Specialist endorsement to my teaching credential. (Essentially being able to be a librarian in a school.) Although it's intended as a part-time program (so that teachers can do it while they are working full time), the last phase of it that I did for 10 weeks was essentially student teaching. From early October to…well, last week, I had little social life and less of a writing life. Life was all about lesson plans and work samples and portfolios and learning new skills.
Happily, I am now done with the program and next month can add a new endorsement to my teaching credential in hopes of getting a job. With the wrapping of a year of school and homework, I should now have more time to write.
PIT6 is moving again, albeit slowly. I'm trying to build the habit of writing 1 hour/day, which is challenging when it slipped by the wayside. Fortunately, for the story, things are no longer as stagnant as they once were. Even so, I keep sensing that PIT6 may be a shorter-than-usual story. Who knows, though? New goal is to have Draft 1 done by the summer. That gives me 6 months.
In related news: web designer Davian Aw decided to give my website a makeover and the results are awesome! All aspects of my website, including the PIT area, has been made over. (The content remains the same.) Check it out here. I hope to add some new content eventually. In the meantime, KristenSheley.com now looks more 21st century.
I hope for a PIT6 release in 2013 at this point. But we'll see what the future brings!
