Yes, I know it's 3:35 in the morning.  You think I don't?  I also know it's been a LONG WHILE since I've written in my journal.  Can I use "I've been busy" as an excuse?  I thought not.

Not much has transpired since last I conversed with you all.  I've finished teaching my online English course (Yippee!).  I've read plenty of renaissance poetry, with all of Shakespeare's sonnets to get through next.

I'm currently trying to write.  I have BIG writing goals for 2004.  One of those goals was to finish up to episode 10 of Femme2Femme, which I accomplished last WEEK.  I'm still only doing an episode a month, so you guys will have to wait for the juicy plot twists, *smirk*

Another goal is to, yet again, revise my thesis (now called A NOVEL).  I've had some recent experiences that have triggered creative inspiration for the novel, so I hope to do another read-through of the 'script over the next couple of weeks to make some notes and do some revisions.  I feel like the book is ALMOST there, like 80% there.

I have three more weeks until I head back to Lake Charles to teach SIX COURSES, and I'm trying to catch up on sleep, writing and sanity -- not necessarily in that order.

OH...I have a new novel idea I'm playing around with.  I don't want to say much because it's still in the percolating stage.  I swear, with all the new ideas I get and begin working on, I'll never get to the at least 20 other concepts I have written and saved in folders, ready to be worked on, LOL

Maybe in my next entry, I'll give you guys a literary taste of some of my work,

Til then...
