I made a commitment and couldn't keep it a week! Still, a day late is better late than never, so I'm going to post today.
Life has continued to fly by since the last update. Work is consistently intense, without really asking too much at any one time. Still - it would be nice to have a bit of a break from the intensity sometime soon! It would be nice to have a day where I can operate at 90% capacity, instead of 110%, which is becoming typical.
In other news, I have sent my unfinished novel to a friend to read. No feedback as of yet... but hopefully some to come soon. I'm sort of ridiculously proud of some parts of this novel, and entirely embarrassed by others. My friends response will hopefully help me find balance between those emotions.
I have ambitious goals for the novel - I want it finished by November... but I always struggle with meeting ambitious personal goals. It remains to be seen if I can actually pull this one off. Mostly, I want it done so I can start a new project for NaNoWriMo with a clear head.
On a fannish front - much to my dismay! - I've caught up with the final chapter of the podfic I recc'd last week: Bend Around the Wind by Scyllaya - podficced by Aerielle.
I have to say that the fic continues to be much better in audio format. The quirks of language and tense issues are still there, and I hear them, but I'm able to push them to the side and focus on the story, which continues to just get better and better.
In the absence of that podfic, however, I've been on the hunt for other things to listen while I walk to work.
At the moment, I've settled on Queen's Gambit by Bedlamsbard, read by Reena_Jenkins. I have read this story before so it will be interesting to see if it sticks. Generally, I won't listen to a podfic all the way through when I know how the the story ends.
For those who have never read this one - I highly recommend it! The summary is as follows:
