Let's see, I'll be working like a dog, so this post gives me nothing but disdain for you.

Hummmm....

Need I repeat.

Writing full time, baby!  Oh, and going to Boston for a week, DC for a week, and out to visit my dad for a week.  The thing about writing is you can do it anywhere, so lots of travelling is in order.

well, Boston is really in the fall type era, EUOL, though I suppose the autumnal equinox will not have occurred, so it's technically still summer.

When are you coming to DC again? We hadn't heard this news.

As for my plans: pretty much working and taking a trip to Utah. i also plan to write a lot.

I'm taking a road trip home at the end of July, and trying to write as much as possible, though that hasn't happened lately. I'm hoping not to be sick for the next several months! Grrr.  >:(  In August my friend wants me to visit D.C. and for my birthday (Aug. 7) some friends of mine and I are considering going to Prince Edward Island. I don't think all of those will come to pass, but they're fun ideas. Oh, and I've got a friend getting married in Salt Lake and another getting married in Las Vegas, a week apart, and I considered going to both of them and spending the week between visiting old friends in Utah, but I don't think I'll be able to afford it.

Working my butt off at the house.  Lots of yard work when you have 3-4 acres and nothing but a broken handmower...

I think we could probably swing it.  I'll let you know about stuff when the time gets closer.

I'm studying for uni exams, which are on the 25th and 29th.  Which should be... fun.  Then... gaming, reading, downloading, music, going out... anything I can think of to keep me amused.

EUOL, how can you afford to write full time?

1) Relatively big advance from Tor.
2) No family.  (I can live on under ten grand a year.)
3) I'll get some extra money from BYU when I go back in the fall and teach.
