I edited six chapters in my novel, Jenny's story and at least wrote down a few ideas for titles ("The Way Home", "Finding the Way Home"). I read maybe 20 pages in "Shantaram" and have posted to both blogs as scheduled. I even subtly worked my trip to Kenya into today's post on The Dino Chronicles.
I also did talk at Tuesday morning's Bible Study group about some of the supplies I've been asked to gather to deliver to the school in Kenya. Oh, and I think it came up since I posted last that I am speaking to the kids from Kinship about the kids in the school at the IDP camp in Kenya. I'll ask our kids to write letters to the kids over there and then have the Kenyan kids write letters back. I think it will be fun for both sets of kids and hopefully educational for them too.
I haven't done any chicken research or have I posted a go-fund-me update. I did message our Kenyan liaison a long message but haven't heard back from him. I did walk on the treadmill once and I have got a few of our college students from church matched up with mentors.
I guess I did a few things so far this week. We'll see how the rest of the week pans out. This Round is winding down and I have a long ways to go.
(Sorry that I don't have a better picture today. I ran out of time this morning as I had a seven a.m. meeting and am posting this from that meeting! Shame on me. But that is one of the joys of the internet - multi-tasking!)
Oh wow, leaves already! Sounds like you got a good amount done, and that's what counts!
ReplyDeleteThis picture is actually from a couple years ago, it was the first one I grabbed. But our leaves are slowly starting to turn and the furnace kicked on last night. Forecast is for a chance of frost tonight. Not looking forward to winter.
DeleteGlad to catch you before that hectic trip to Africa begins. When you return, perhaps even more of those fall leaves will decorate your walks! Good progress on the editing. The writing will come along -- especially as you keep jotting those ideas down.
ReplyDeleteI hope to keep people up to date while I am in Kenya, at least on Facebook. I never know how internet coverage will be but I will have it some of the time.
DeleteIt seems like you're moving along well. If the writing is on the back burner, for now, that seems to be fitting, considering the magnitude of your trip.
ReplyDeleteYou're bound to experience so much that will feed your writing, once you're back into your regular routine again.
I'm looking forward to hearing about your Kenyan work and adventures!
Thanks, Shan, I'm sure I will be sharing lots of stories from the trip when I get home.
