Busy!

If there is one thing I've learned during the past few years about writing, it is that it comes in seasons.  The last two weeks have been like a downpour of ideas, opportunities and tasks.  I'm quite excited about it!  I'm working on the Francis Chan article and queried a popular journal to ask if they are interested.  Guess what?  I got a 'maybe'!  While this might not seem all too promising, just the fact that I got feedback was miraculous.  I've been querying editors for years now and the most I've gotten is a form letter rejection--usually at least a year after the submission.  Can you think of anything more depressing?  Needless to say, a 'maybe' was well-taken.  Today I'm working a new article query for another idea (top secret :) and wrapping up some other loose ends.  It's kind of a 'pick up the pieces' day... And considering the fact that it's raining outside in the middle August, I think that suits me just fine.
