Irony In Blogging

What's the best part about writing a blog post about making excuses for not accomplishing something? Coming back to your blog almost 9 months later without having written a thing since. No excuses, though - blogging just isn't as high on the priority list as things like, ya know, being a full-time student while also working full-time.

Turns out my kids like to eat, who knew.

Things are going well at work and I am enjoying a well-deserved rest from school at the moment. I'm enrolled at Western Oregon University for fall term to finish my degree (Anthropology major, for those wondering). The most interesting part of the enrollment process? Trying to figure out how to get credit for learning Icelandic (the eventual focus of my studies will be Northern Europe/Scandinavia) at a college that only offers French, German, Spanish, and American Sign Language. Still trying to work that one out.

Life is good overall - I'm working on a pair of fantasy novels that might actually be one novel when complete, as well as a young-adult novel that is more lit-fic than genre-fic. I alternate bursts of great progress with each, and the result is that I am getting more written on a daily basis now than at any other point in my life, which is exciting. My current obsession is the young-adult story - I honestly think it is some of the best writing I've ever done.

Speaking of which, I should go write that, rather than this. :)
