jolantruApologies for not updating the journal as regularly as I should. I am swarmed with marking and real life circumstances (family and health issues).
I look back at all my previous posts from 2001 and realize that I have not been posting about my spirituality or gardening or things in general. I used to write a lot. Now I seem silent on such topics - simply because I have other things in my life? Perhaps I have reached an equilibrium and do not find the need to share constantly.
So. Marking. The boon and bane of every teacher's life. I have 140 scripts to mark and up til the 17th. At the moment, I am tackling the thickest pile. GAH. My eyes and gigantic leaps of logic, suspending beliefs etc. I end up marking their grammar.
My urban fantasy novel (book two!) is due to be released. I am not sure what or how to feel. Excited, yes. The first book has generally positive reviews, though the two-stars ratings do smart a little. A writer's life - have to roll with the sticks and stones.
