So, over the past weekend, I was finally able to announce what my most recent project has been over the past few months. Due for release this summer is my translation of Japanese SF/F author Yu Godai's Quantum Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner, Vol. 1, published through Bento Books.

After looking at potential scheduling options, I've decided that I'm going to hold a few time slots for Beginner Japanese Tutoring, starting in just a few weeks (exact dates TBD).

I will not let stress get to me.

I will get through this two-day workweek and then enjoy the fuck out of Thanksgiving and my long weekend.

I will finish my novel stuff, I will finish my stories and I will be awesome.

I will not let work ruin this.

So, another long workweek is finally drawing to a close, and I've got a weekend to look forward to ( Read more... )

Problem solved.
