Wow - I thought life would slow down when teaching ended! Ha!

The ghostwriting has begun. I have sixty pages on the first draft of Book 10. My deadline is July 15th, so I'm chugging along. It's been an interesting experience learning to work collaboratively with Robert, but I think it's going to work out really well. We both bounce ideas off each other, and he likes a lot of my ideas, so I don't feel like I'm being dictated to, so to speak. And I'm having fun writing it. It is a challenge, given that I'm trying to get inside the head's of someone else's characters, but I feel like I'm hitting my stride now.

No progress on Magpie, I just haven't had the time. But if I can get my four pages on Book 10 today then I can work on my own projects.

Other than that, I have a full load of classes lined up for the fall, so I'm happy. I'll just be teaching and working at the church, which is awesome. Yeah for two jobs! And that is all -
