Still Working on It…

Yikes, it has almost been a month since I updated this blog! How time does fly. I have not made much progress on the novel as of yet; I’ve begun an errata sheet (an old habit from academic editing) and am making my way slowly through the novel, catching a lot of things I missed the first two times I read it. I am trying not to change too much, but I want this thing to say what I want it to say, and not something else. I don’t think anyone else is in the position to do that for me at this point.

I have been busy with family life and teaching recently. I had planned to get a lion’s share of the editing work done during Spring Break, which was last week, but unfortunately that never materialized. I hope this week will be more productive; next week papers are due and I will have to spend time grading those.

For those of you patiently waiting for The Temptation of Jamal, it’s coming, God willing. I’m just not sure when.
