Gasp!
Working full time, having a kid in football, and taking three classes is taking all my spare time. I have some reading or homework assignment due all the time. I can barely catch my breath.
My German Literature class doesn’t have written assignment to hand in, but there are reading assignments every week, with group discussions in class. Internet Programming has a program assignment due each week. They are not usually too hard, but last week’s was a bear. And of course, World History (the correspondence course), since the assignments don’t have a due date, it is hard to sit down and do those. But the class does have a deadline, and with so many papers to write in so little time, I have to force myself to work on them.
So, it’s no surprise that I have done very little work on my novels, and no work at all on my own programming projects. But I did get a little done on my spy novel. I finally wrote the first piece of dialog in the story. It’s nothing fancy, or for that matter, not an important piece of dialog. But as I have a problem with writing dialog, it was a great first step. Chapter one is just about done.
