With a short break behind me (and one I sorely needed), I’m jumping back into my study-writing-working routine – though not specifically in that order. I thought it’s about time I give a proper update on how the Finish Year is going.
Bookish endeavours:
Writing the dissertation is going well, if slower than I had hoped. But I did send off about a novel worth of writing before I went on leave. This week I’m starting on a new part of the dissertation, which I am planning to finish in the next two months. In that time I will also be finishing the essay I’m to read at the conference in September.
I’m a bit behind on the book reviews, but I’m sure I’ll catch them up in time – I am keeping my Good Reads page pretty up to date.

Writing Endeavours:
I have sent out a flash piece and I’m waiting to hear if it has been accepted for publication. In the meantime, I’m busy with a few short stories which are in different stages of completion. One – “Spilling beans” – I’m planning on finishing the final draft this weekend. It is darker than I had anticipated, but the feedback I’ve gotten so far has been great and a good motivator.
The short vacation has also been a great inspiration - and I saw snatches of many of the places in my imagination – refreshing the senses, so to speak.
