Time Will Tell...

Hey guys!
I hope everyone is having a great start to the new year. Mine has been pretty good despite the anniversary of my mother’s passing. For all of you that don’t know, I lost my mom on January 16, 2016 due to suicide. She was a paranoid schizophrenic and the voices became to much for her. I went and got a tattoo of her handwriting that says I love you. I found it in her bible and wanted a daily reminder of her love. It’s on my wrist where I have to look at it everyday.
As far as my class work is going, it’s just going. I’m doing a lot better than expected honestly. I feel like I’m struggling but keep getting A’s on everything so I must be doing something right. This week is my half way point in my term. I have four weeks left of the term and I’m so ready for it to be over. I don’t think next term is going to be any easier honestly. I’m taking Applied Social Science and Applied Natural Science.
I’m working on chapter eleven for my book, the end is getting closer and closer. I’m almost to the halfway point now. I expect it to be about twenty five chapters and one hundred and eighty thousand words. This isn’t exact but just a hunch. I’m going to try to edit it myself as well as have a few friends edit it before sending it to a editor. I’m going to start a teaser for the book probably after I get the first draft done. I finally have a title BUT I’m going to hold my tongue until I have a cover design ready. I’m aiming to have my final product by August. Fingers crossed. After that I’ll start on my next novel in the series. It also already has a title but that’s for another time.
I have started on a few blogs for here too. I just have to finish them. I work on them slowly so I can release them together in a series.
I have finally submitted my driving stuff to my funding source. We will see if it gets approved. All I have left is training them I’ll be able to get my stuff done. I’ll have to get a new vehicle plus the equipment to drive. It’s going to be expensive but I’m hoping to do a fundraiser to help with the cost.
I’m going to say my goodbyes. I’m tired and have class in the morning.
Until next time
April
