Change of Plans

Every writer, at some point, has to deal with their "normal" job and/or education getting in the way. I'd say that point is going to come for me pretty soon here.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, instead of just the occasional class here and there, I'm suddenly taking 13 credits this semester, and art isn't one of them. That wouldn't be a problem if I didn't also have a job. I made sure I don't have work and class on the same days, but the homework load is going to be a bit of a problem.

That starts in September, which is the month I was thinking about starting on a second draft of The Demon's Guardian (not to mention some extras for the series that are still under wraps). Needless to say, that's pretty much going out the window. I'm not even sure if I'll make NaNoWriMo this November, which would be a crying shame after winning 4 years in a row.

In fact, my secret goal was to release The Demon's Guardian as early as December, but my college semester doesn't even end until then. So, if I want to write, I'll have to squeeze it in with whatever moments I get. That probably means there will be even less time for this blog, but it's okay. I'll keep you updated with whatever is happening.

Or I'll try. I probably should have mentioned that my first draft was done on the 4th as scheduled. Belated hooray!
