The Soundboard

My new blog is up!

Now all that will be here is my short stories and any excerpts that I choose to put up. I'm trying to simplify things a bit.

Short stories with commence next week, I wanted one week on not doing anything, and now I'm antsy to write again. Expect one by next Friday!

The new blog is called The Soundboard - http://thesoundboard-mandamae.blogspot.com/. Check it out for my conversations. :) That is all this morning. Sherlock for the rest of the day. Ta.

The Summer is Almost Here

Once summer arrives, I will be able partake in an activity that has eluded me these past few weeks - freetime. I've been very swamped with school, with long essays due and finals starting. I had my first one this morning. Phew. I'll be graduating next Sunday, which also falls on my 23rd birthday. That makes me feel old.

This summer I'll still be busy with two jobs, but I'll be scheduling in bouldering at the gym, climbing trips out to Devil's Lake, WI, and writing times. My friend and fellow writer Sora will be joining me in picking up the weekly short story exercises we had started earlier this year. We'll also finally be able to work on our novels. Both the one we are writing together and the two each that we are writing separately.

Updates on those and the short stories will be uploaded on here. I'm thinking of moving my reviews and thoughts onto a different blog. I don't want to clutter this too much. It's some food for thought over the next week.

Now it's time for me to actually pay attention to my Shakespeare class. Last day of class and I don't know where we are in Hamlet. Oops.
