My muse is all rested and I'm ready to begin again. I read (devoured) the Kushiel's Legacy most recent book, Kushiel's Mercy by Jacqueline Carey over the weekend. Got me all inspired to get back to work. I also read Thief with no Shadow by Emily Gee.
I'm currently sitting at 18k words. I have class tonight out in Schamburg. It will take me about two hours my public transportation to get there. I plan to work on my book while in transport.
I'm going back to finish my degree. I had class on Saturday too. My good friend, Becky, has a boyfriend who just moved to Chicago about a month ago and he was in my class. So random. Nice to not be the only college-aged kid sitting there. I was a bit worried about sitting in class with a bunch of 18 year olds. That being said, I believe that most of the people in that class were non-traditional, as you might expect with a Saturday class.
Also, this weekend, I had my first rehearsal for this web-isode by Avalon Film Works. Despite just complaining about being an "Old Student" I'm playing the part of a 17 year old. Great script. Great cast. I think I'm the only non-pro/semi-pro actor. There's a benefit to looking a decade younger than I am. I'll post the link to that site once it goes live.
Yes, I like being crazy busy. It keeps me productive. Goal is to be to 20k words by Wednesday.

2 tidbits:
It's funny: when I'm crazy busy, I get tons of stuff done. When I have a whole day to focus on one thing, I don't get any more done!
I do get more rest, though. :-)
Funny thing is that I was suppose to go sailing on Sunday and to a German fest, but managed to cut my eye instead so did end up sleeping.
I think when I am busy I have more interactions that can spark writing ideas.
