日本へ行くよ！

Posted on by

お金がないから、日本へ行くのはちょっと。。。

Edit: I just went to the Study Abroad fair. It looks like the summer trip, all in all, is going to cost me (estimating high here) about $9,000.

The sentence above says “Because I don’t have money, I’m not so sure about going to Japan…” roughly translated.

The resources are at my disposal to obtain this money for just such an educational jaunt out of the country, I just need to apply like mad.

So, this is still the plan. My hurdles have become concrete, and so this makes me (1) no longer able to ignore their existence, and (2) more able to jump them.

Horoscope

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do you have a forbidden fantasy? Is there some adventure you wish you could let yourself have, but you lack the money or spunk to attempt it? Have you been nursing an impossible dream that is no closer to fulfillment now than it was when you first conjured it up years ago? If so, Taurus, the time has come to resolve your relationship with it. Either renounce it and forget it forever, or else take a bold, practical step toward making it come true. P.S. You have more courage than you realize.

Anybody?

So, this rejection from Baen has created an opportunity.

It’s time for a re-write.

I’ve already been re-doing all the intros to the chapters. The poetry is going bye-bye, and Timothy Marley is getting a bit of an upgrade.

The dream sequences are going to be double-checked, and only re-arranged if absolutely necessary.

The invasion of California will stay. The robots in California will stay.

They just may not be giant. And they likely won’t transform.

This is a big diversion for the last 4 or so chapters of the book. Would anyone like to share their opinion? You likely won’t get this chance after I become incredibly famous. ;)
