On confidence and planning for the unexpected

Many developments have taken place since last April, but overall the situation is largely unchanged. As usual, I've been searching for a job and have a few good prospects on the horizon (including an interview next week). I'm starting to ramp up my efforts to get poetry published, and working on a couple of different fiction projects.

One fiction project is a sci-fi novel, first in a possible series. People have expressed an interest in reading the story in installments, and so I am going to attempt to post one chapter a week starting in a month or two. If you're interested in interspecies diplomacy, the Kuiper belt, Martian politics, and the personal lives of long-distance bus drivers, then be sure to keep an eye out for that (and I'll be sure to let everyone know as soon as I've thought of a title).

I'm also entertaining the notion of self-publishing a poetry collection; if so, I will be using this blog and my twitter account (username: pickletomboy) to promote it and report any developments.
