Hello, folks! :) I've been quiet for a few days, but for good reason. I just finished up a semester at Berkeley College, submitted revisions to my editor (#TeamMcKelle), am sitting tight on some notes from my agent (#TeamTravis), started a brand new semester at SNHU, and other things... like how I leave for Australia in 15 days and will stay there for two months (with a little excursion to New Zealand that still needs to be worked out).

I'm greatly looking forward to this trip as I haven't seen my boyfriend since last December and haven't had a break in a few years. The last time I went to Australia (two years ago), I taught online while I was there--this time will be no different although, upon completion of the semester, I will absolutely take a break.

Besides spending time with him, I'm looking forward to clearing my head, sight seeing, traveling, and, of course, writing. Change of scenery can really make some dramatic changes in one's writing, and I'm excited to get some real hard work done on some projects that have been set on the back burner.

So, what have you all been up to? I hope writing and reading a bit.
