I'm pleased to announce that, on my third anniversary working for Waterman Broadcasting, I have been promoted to the position of Director. It's a answer to my prayers.

The catch: Morningside director. Now a week-long vacation I'd been using on writing is also being used to try to get used to waking up early. Aside from the unfriendly hours, I look forward to seeing where this goes. It seems I can put off this winter's job search.

Oh, right, the novel was finished on Wednesday... coming in at just under 110K words. I have a feeling it will be a little longer by the time I'm done with the first edited draft. Due to the sharp transition in work hours and responsibilities (to say nothing of a potential hurricane bearing down on us), I plan to take a couple of weeks' break before I begin editing the novel. I'm not willing to let that be put off much longer, though.
