I went into last week with three classes to teach at the local community college. By thursday, two had been canceled due to low enrollment, and one had been take by a full timer who lost a class due to low enrollment. Friday I picked up two new classes at a satellite location. It’s a little farther from the house, but it’s 7 credits total. That should be enough to knock me off unemployment again.
I only have to generate notes for one of the classes this time, as I’ve taught the other one before. Generating notes is the worst part. Very time consuming.
This afternoon, I plan to get back on the writing horse. I have an Aether Age story to finish, then I want to get cracking on that NaNo novel and finish the thing. There was a nice motivation article in today’s business section by Harvey Mackay called Rebound from your Failures by Taking Lessons from Mistakes. Among other influences, this article is motivating me to get writing again after the 6+ week hiatus that started when my hard drive crashed last month. I’d like to get back on the pace I held during NaNoWriMo, or reasonably close to that. It’s a good clip that can finish a novel in two months, and it feels good to be that productive.
