Fall tournaments are finally at an end

Today ended the continuous forensics tournaments we've been conducting and attending. UOP did well all the way through, but now I finally have a chance to start working on so much of the school work that I need to do. I am in the process of writing 3 separate papers, all of which require massive literature reviews. It's going to be nice to finally have some time again to do what needs to be done.

I sent out about 20 query letters a few days ago for four of my novels (The Ameriad, The Teddy Bear Conspiracy, Absent Without Leave and Loser). I am going to set some time aside and start sending out my short stories next. I have so much of my writing that is just sitting around doing nothing.

As for relationship stuff, well, nothing's really happening. There have been a few times in the past few months where I've thought someone was giving me a signal, but to be honest, I'm not that good at recognizing signals anymore. I kind of need a woman to say "Hey, Duane, I'm interested in you" these days. Makes for much more difficult contacts these days. But it's not a big deal. Gives me more time to work on my writing, and once I get started on another book, chances are pretty good I'm going to be disappearing for some time until it is completed.

Stumble It!
