Now that that project is completed, I'll hopefully be able to get back to blogging and writing fiction.
Over the past few week I've spent my free time writing educational materials. It was fun, but quite a challenge. I have a new respect for textbook writers. The last time I wrote history was in graduate school where nuance and depth were the currency of the realm. This past month I had to shoehorn the Renaissance and Reformation into 40 Power Point slides! Oh, the pain of leaving out so much good stuff. It is a talent to distill an historical period down to its essential characteristics. I shall try to bite my tongue the next time I have the urge to criticize a textbook author.

Indeed, it is/was pretty crazy. In the end, the final draft I turned in was 37 slides and 13 MB :-0 I used a lot of fairly high-rez pictures. Don't know why really; it's not meant for print. I guess I just couldn't help myself :-)

Thanks for the encouragement! Maybe I will; after all NaNoWriMo is almost upon on us. Tell me, how long do you write for each morning? Do you have a time limit or is it just a length limit (that is the paragraph)?
