My thoughts two weeks ago:
If I study like a mad scientist, I'll be able to squeeze in an hour or two every once in a while to work on volume 2 of TOTB.  What a clever idea that is!  I am indeed a clever man. 

Reality:
No time to do anything but study!  I think I remember having family and friends, but that seems like a long time ago.  I hope they remember me fondly.

The good part is that nursing school is awesome and super challenging, and I need to be challenged in order to really enjoy school.  I'm heading towards a career in which I can help others, comfortably support my family,  and have lots of time to spend with my wife and new son (4/10/14, tentatively), whilst writing my ass off in our future mountain home in Montana. 

So, while volume 2 of TOTB might be a ways off, it's definitely going to happen, eventually.  I do have to say that when I'm spacing out at work and going into Massage Therapist Autopilot, I'm having a blast with cooking up the outline, new characters, and new places in my mind's eye. 

The world of Kaliya is out there somewhere, and it is my mission to perceive it from the very ether and document her dramas and plights!
