Here I am

Well, we have Internet access at home now, so I can frivol away my time browsing the web from the comfort of my own room without a time limit, except for the fact that being a mother is more demanding than a full time job. ;) I find myself having a bit more free time lately, though, because my son is now attending an intensive pre-school espcecially for autistic and PDD kids. All day long. Five days a week. It's pretty jolting. I wasn't expecting to send him away that long until he was six. I guess a lot of my expectations have been turned on their heads. But you know, you can't go into this saying, "Sure, I'll have a kid, but if he has any problems or abnormalities, forget it." No, you get what you get and you don't change your mind. And I believe that God doesn't give me more than I can handle. I do firmly believe, however, that He'll push it right up to my very limit. *sigh*

So anyway, I've been revising my first and second novels to make the whole series smoother and more in line with what I did in the third book. I've developed the series very haphazardly, plunging ahead without really alwas knowing where I'm headed. Probably not the wisest way to write, but I've certainly been enjoying it. Now I just need about ten other readers (my husband and sister are admittedly biased) to critique it and prod me into submitting this stuff to be published. Or...maybe I'll finish the series first and then revise the whole thing all over again. I imagine if I ever get aything published, I'll be making revisions in the margins. :D

As for fanfic, I'm currently working on two long pieces, my first AU and my final Jar Jar fic taking place during and after Episode III. I've kind of stalled on both of them, partly because I've been focusing on my original work, and partly because the scope of both of them is a little overwhelming. However, I have a bunch of small ficlets that I'd like to post here, if anyone's interested. Mostly Anakin-related, Episode III-inspired - big surprise there, eh?
