Cough.
So I'm sick. For the first time in, like, a year. And that sucks, because my throat feels like a piece of scraped meat and I'm sneezing a fair amount, and I can't really run. I'm also still stressed to hell and I have so much to do in the last two classes remaining to me. And I can't escape the feeling that I'm kind of sucking a lot in one of them. And I have to finish writing a quiz for tomorrow. And I have to teach tomorrow on next to no voice.
HOWEVER: Like I said yesterday, I have summer funding, which hugely eases things financially and in just about every other respect, and also means that I don't have to go out and get a real job. Basically I get paid to write all summer. Academic writing, and I can definitely get in some creative writing too. Having a completed novel draft--maybe even a final draft--by the end of the summer now looks really likely, if I can stay on task.
Got good mail today: Homefront, which I can't fucking wait to play, and the business cards I ordered for WisCon, which feature tiny little story snippets on the front instead of images. I like the effect:
Finally, I'm trying to set up interviews for my Qualitative Methods course, and it looks like at least three of my Hellebore & Rue co-contributors are local? So I get to meet them, which is awesome, and we're also going to try to set up some kind of event to coincide with the print release, which I get the sense will be happening soon (stay tuned).
So things are good at the moment. Probably better than I deserve.
