I put another semester to bed today.
Every year, it seems like the days slip by more rapidly. Perhaps it’s that slippery middle-aged slope. Perhaps it’s because I work with teenagers. Perhaps time itself is speeding up. 
Whatever the cause, this semester seemed to fly right by. I love my job, and I actually think that accounts for the days seeming so quick.
I was able to finish grading all my final exams before I bid Greenwood High School a fond farewell until 2008. We actually get to enjoy two full weeks off this year. I plan to use as much of it to write as possible. Only a Type A like me would turn a hobby like writing into a job. But I do still love writing so much.
I opened the faith healer book this weekend to read a few chapters to refresh myself with the characters. Not one to brag, I have to say my writing has improved so much since I started two years ago. The story is absorbing, and the characters are real enough I feel their emotions. I hope I can do the manuscript justice because it truly is a sweet story.
Two years. Wow. I’ve been writing two years. What do I have to show for it? Seven contest finals with four different manuscripts. Seven completed stories — five of which I think are worthy of an editor’s read. The other two are going to have to stay under the bed until I get the Amazon series out of my head. Maybe then I’ll work on rewrites. 
Two years sure slipped by fast.
Time flies when you’re having fun.
