Reading/Writing Journal

I'm falling desparately behind, mostly in my writing and scripture reading.  I'm only kind of behind in my leisurely reading.

I'm starting to doubt whether or not I'll have what I've decided to title "Constance in Sioux City" cut to even 15,000 by the end of the month.  I'm currently sitting at about 26k and am averaging less than 1k an hour when I cut.  If it's going to be in the 2013 issue of the BCR, I've got to have it done by mid-October at the very latest.  So like 3 weeks.  gulp

I finished "Like Any Normal Day" and was somewhat disappointed.  I read the acknowledgements and was not in the least bit surprised to see the author didn't thank a copy edietor.  I felt the story had so much potential, but the book barely came close to reaching it. Kind of like me on the chin-up bar in gym class.

I'm not sure who my poet is going to be, but I'll be reading that tonight.  Haven't got much further in Casterbridge, either. 

I think I've got "Latter-Day Liberty" on deck for my next True.  I'll probably have to do Cather as a Random in order to get her in for the fall.  I was really hoping to get her in as an Old.  sigh
