Wiki Wiki Word.

So, guess what? Delightfully  I got my french textbook finally. The joy of this most recent conquest almost caused me to pirouette as I bent down and picked it up from my doorstep. Giggling, I peeled back the tape on the package and looked inside. I drew out the mass of pages and opened it to the number for my assigned homework, and-

And-?

Crap! I ordered the wrong addition.

Yes, I can use it for studying for my proficiency test but as far as keeping up with the class, doing my homework, and not looking like a pothead in front of my professer? Not so much. But the correct book is on it’s way and hopefully will pull my fat out of the fryer at just the last moment. Crossing my fingers.

I also got a call this week about working the full time counselor job at the WalkIn office of the place where I pick up shifts at the shelter. The only problem is that I thought I’d missed the boat so I didn’t work around the idea of a nine to five when planning my summer classes. Mrrrgh. But it’s just one more chance for me to try and pull a rabbit out of my hat, or, if you will, a miracle out of thin air.

In other news, I’m working on my new piece for Writer’s Group. I can’t entirely say that it’s one that I truly love and that others will find it life changing. But it’s a process and till I think of something that will fit in the catagories I just mentioned, it will just have to do. I think that it’s valuable to take it and revise and edit and work and work and make it great. And I figure that once I can do that with something kind of mediocre, I should have no trouble with the fantabulous novel that I’m going to light the world on fire with. We’ll see if my suppositions are correct.

I really, truly, deeply want to be a good writer. And all allusions to Savage Garden aside, I believe that if I work enough I can do it. And I want to praise God with my work. I want to write what he would have me to. I’m just still trying to figure out exactly what that is. My sister says that to write good Christian fiction, there’s something of a light hand that has to be applied. I agree. I just can’t do it yet.

Wish me luck! . . . and, buy my book when it comes out.
