Update Link: Signs of Life – Chapter 9

The first new chapter since February! All of the scenes in this chapter were originally part of the flash fiction series, though it’s been edited for consistency.  I’m going to fix the design issues on the site this weekend, but life has been a little crazy the last few days!

First week at work has been, uh, interesting. I met my World Languages department chair on Monday, and it really feels like she mostly forgot they were adding French. It’s been a stressful, busy week though I did manage to write half a chapter on Tuesday.  It’s a little frustrating — there wasn’t a lot of money left in the budget for me, and I wasn’t able to spend anything on classroom decor, so my walls (which were damaged from previous posters and not repaired) look like a beige prison, ugh.

Today’s my last day of staff development, and then I have four days off before kids come in on Tuesday. I’ll see you guys tomorrow for a Flash Fiction update!
