Future of Knot Theory
12 years ago
Hey guys,
Just a quick (unfortunate) update about Knot Theory. I've really enjoyed writing it so far and am so very excited to finish it--the next few chapters are mostly done, but I feel so far removed from the writing mood right now that I'm not sure when I'll get in the right mindset to go back through them.
Because I just started school again, and, surprise: physics is hard. Like, really hard. Specifically junior year, known at my university as Death Year. I thought it was going to be difficult, but it managed to trounce my expectations (partially because of a professor change, but mostly because Death Year is Death Year is Death Year).
My vocabulary cannot give me words sufficient to describe the madness. Perhaps an example will help: I am sort of a hard-ass, and yet even I acknowledge a high probability that at some point during the semester, I am going to have a complete mental breakdown over how much work I have to do. Perhaps I could drop a class, but I really would rather not have to do that.
And so it is! Wish me luck...

Oh, you may want to inform your SoFurry crowd too. There's more people watching you there (426 on SF as opposed to 216 on FA, not including any people like me who are watching you on both sites) that might want to know what's up.
Got anyone that you could ask to edit them for you?
I will never surrender my drafts to someone for the first editing pass. The first draft is a rough approximation, and it's impossible for anyone to shape it up into the form I originally had in mind (even myself, but I try).
Oh, I more had in mind a final draft that only needed a spell check. I'm not too familiar with the whole writing thing.
<-Struggled through putting 5 paragraphs together through HS, hasn't strung together more than 2 coherent sentences since.
