-This is the month of transition for me where the school year ends and the summer begins. I have approximately 12 days left of school. The trick at this time of year is not to close up shop mentally.
-I've gotten more good reviews of the new manuscript then I expected. Currently I am only revealing the first 11 pages, but the positive input has been really encouraging.
-When I write something and then I show people what I've done and they like it I always get a little bit scared that I won't be able to duplicate the quality on the next page. This can lead to over-analyzing, but I determined just to write and not to worry. Just write.
-Someone asked me if I was going to pursue an advanced degree at any time. "If I need to," was my reply. School was really tough my last year as I was working 40+ hours a week and taking 21 credit hours and writing my senior paper on the Silmarillion of all things. Yes, I was too ambitious in my choice of topic.
-I am listening to Pandora right now. Cool site, check it out.
-Yes, I am on Twitter. No, I'm not one of "those" people.
-I can't wait to go home to Michigan in three weeks. It's way to hot here and it's only May.
-I wish I had something profound to say.
-End

Hi Matt,
Congrats, on school almost being over for the year...very exciting. Sean just finished his last day of student teaching last week...yay!!! He's in NC at a job fair this weekend. We're looking to moving somewhere warmer.
Haven't figured out Twitter yet. I'm not sure I understand it. I do facebook, even though I'm not very active on it.
Keep writing, I think it's great you're doing something you love. I'm a nervous wreck whenever I put anything in print. Writing and spelling isn't really my strong subject.
Hope you and your family had a Happy Mothers Day!
Angie
You guys coming for the 4th?
