Writing:
Three more chapters down in editing. Three more to go and then I can move on to Lesson 3. I also got hit over the head with this book’s actual theme. Up until now I’ve thought the duology’s theme would also be this novel’s, but no, it’s actually quite different, which means I’ll have to rework yet more stuff. But that’s what learning is for, right? All of the characters in my story are dealing with grieving the loss of something in their own way. So the book will be about that. And Lord help me, I’ll need to read up on this to do it justice. I’m only 28 and pretty green as far as life goes. Grief isn’t something I have a lot of experience with yet. I guess I’ll start with C. S. Lewis since he was written two books on the subject, one before his experiences with grief and the second after. The study should prove illuminating between the theoretical and the actual. I’m not about to ask God to teach me, because you know how that goes… He just might say yes. :S

Store:
The first week managing the store at work has gone well for the most part. There have been a few dominance issues to work out with the very temporary co-manager who is here from another store to train my actual co-manager, but all in all it’s been a positive experience.

Apartment-Palooza!
I’ve also started apartment hunting, and have two as my chief candidates that while somewhat budget-stretching, fit fairly well into it and are about as cheap as I can get without moving into a high-crime area or driving all the way across town.
