Well, I finished my first round of edits and sent my first draft off to my first readers. I have gotten feedback from two of them but am still waiting on the third. Once I hear from all of them I will do my second revision and then I will send the result off to the small press that wants to read it. So, things are progressing... slowly.
In the meantime, I'm keeping busy by training for a triathlon. I signed up for a race in June and started a training program about 3 weeks ago. Things are going well so far. It's exciting to be getting back in shape and to rekindle my love affair with swimming. Also, it's exciting to have a fairly substantial goal ahead of me. I'm doing an olympic distance race which means that the swim is 1.5 km the bike is 40 km and the run is 10 km. In the world of triathlons it's not that big (there are some seriously insane triathlons out there) but in the world of people like me who haven't done long distance running or biking in a long time/ever it's a pretty big deal.
So, life remains pretty interesting. In the meantime, there is the terrifying prospect of having to find a job back home in the US before we leave here. Yipe! I'm working on it, but it's slow going and I'm working hard not to get discouraged.
All and all life is pretty good. I will update as soon as there is anything movement on the novel revision/publishing front. That's it for now.
I leave you with this food for thought: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpypeLL1dAs
