I'll be watching the Cardinals later I imagine. Two games left, one game behind the wild card. They had a great opportunity to tie it last night, but they blew it. Now I'm not so sure they deserve it. However, every time I say that, they pull themselves up and do some great things. I guess I will just wait and see. There is a rumor that Tony might go to the White Sox. I wouldn't mind seeing that happen because I think we need a new leader, some new blood.
I'm totally disappointed in the Rams. I knew they were going to have a rough start to the year, but they have looked impotent. The offensive line is in shambles even though they spent millions of dollars to bring in some new faces.
I don't have a lot else to say about my life at the moment. Not much happening. I've been thinking about my writing a lot. What else is new.
I'm a bit at a loss today. The Children's Literature Institute thinks I should start on a new novel and temporarily abandon Shadowland Diaries. Their reasoning is that the plot is a little too complicated to be very marketable. It would be hard for the average reader to follow it. My instructor says that I have obvious writing talent but that I am trying to do too much. She might very well be right.
They have said that they could refund my money completely, which most companies wouldn't do since I have been working with them for approximately a year. My second option is to start the class over with a different novel, something simpler. Perhaps a straight, contemporary story of a young man battling bipolar disorder without the fantasy land side plot. I guess that means they don't see my current novel going anywhere, and they don't want me to spend any more time on it for now. I'm a little torn as to what I should do.
I do have to admit that I keep running into brick walls with Shadowland Diaries, so maybe I could pare it down a lot and keep it in the here and now. I'm just not sure what I should do. At any rate, someone from the school is going to call me and discuss it. I have grown very fond of my two characters Dean and Dee, and I don't really feel like abandoning them. Sigh, I will have to think about it for a while.
