ETU students fight monsters

Class Notes: The Stumble

First and foremost, this week I’d like to recognize two people who posted on the Pinnacle Forums earlier this week – Corwyn and Patrick. Your support couldn’t have come at a better time. Thank you!

Unfortunately, the reason I so desperately needed your encouragement was because I got sick shortly after last week’s Class Notes. I’d been fighting a cold all last week, then Thursday I took a nosedive. By Saturday I was diagnosed with secondary sinus infection and given antibiotics but it wasn’t until yesterday that I really started feeling better. Needless to say, my health wasn’t the only thing to take a nosedive. This past week my writing sprint  turned into a sprawl, or as my father-in-law would say, I “started, stumbled, farted, and fell.”

So thank you again Corwyn and Patrick for your encouragement. It’s a good feeling to know that people are still interested in Degrees of Horror, ’cause sometimes I can’t help but wonder. I aim to hit my writing goal tonight and get my momentum back. The original 30 day goal is probably blown, but my sprint resumes.
