Things went well in __.
So, yeah. Great news! It's an opportunity to work with and learn from people who just move in a different circle of experience. At the same time, it's more work.
I mean, as a result of this meeting, I have literally twice as much I have to get done before September. And the extra work may not pan out, in fact, it is likely that nothing material will come of it.

I've thought about messing with blogspot and tumblr, but I'd prefer something with a more naturall As Facebook winds down its free organic reach, I'm exploring other places to begin posting regularly.
I've thought about messing with blogspot and tumblr, but I'd prefer something with a more naturally built-in community (and I'm really not the Twitter sort of person).
I'll begin mirroring some of my FB posts on here. Goodreads doesn't have the most attractive look for its blogs, but there is more of that community interaction built in. I just wish they had some of FB's functionality, like auto-thumbnail generation for link previews. ...more
