Lest you think all I do is read

Lest you think all I do is read, here is a post about What’s Going On With Me.

I’m teaching three sections of composition, two of which are dual-credit at local high schools.  It’s hard to realize, but this is Week 8 of the semester, the halfway point.  My students are working on their third of five papers, a research-based report.  They’re actually doing quite well, on the whole.

I’m also gearing up for NaNoWriMo, which I’m quite excited about.  For the first time since, yes, 2006, I’ll actually be able to participate in November, rather than the often-kinder months of January, June, or July.  I’m planning a young adult fantasy novel called Edgewood.  It’s a book I already intend to market for publication.

Speaking of publication, one of my short stories is forthcoming in ResAliens, a speculative fiction ezine.  More info when it appears, so you can all pledge undying support in the form of purchasing the magazine.

Lastly, I’ve been writing curriculum materials for the SAT tutoring center where I work–namely the essays and articles for the critical reading sections, off of which multiple choice questions are written.  I trot out my big vocabulary and try to make my sentences as complex as possible.  Perhaps ironically or perhaps not, it’s the best paid writing I’ve ever done.

So I’ve been working and writing.  And reading, of course.  What about you?
