A lot of things have been happening in my life, and not much for the good. I'm working a lot right now, and for a while I was working two positions (manager and assistant) when the manager quit on us. We finally hired a new manager, so stress at work should go down now. My dad had a serious illness but he's now on the mend, hooray! My car also broke down but dad is going to be working on it, and I'm borrowing another for the time being...

Add all this up, and it means I haven't had much attention for writing lately. But the announcement that Borders fell was a big hit to me. For a couple years now I've been fearing the ebook revolution is going to seriously injure the book publishing industry, and Borders falling (although they made a lot of poor choices that lead them to this road) definitely indicates that it has. I used to have dreams of doing my first book signing (heh heh, silly Ryuu...) at my local Borders. Now that dream is gone. Borders is was the only bookstore in my area larger than someone's car garage >.>

So Borders closing has made me sit up and take notice that my time might just be running out. I'm going to work on applying myself more to my writing, making time even though I don't have much these days. So let's see if the calendar can guide me back on track!
