I have checked out 4 books of short stories. I want to read as much as I can from each to get a good grasp of well-written short stories. I also hope to finish writing 2 short stories, 2 non-fiction articles(or personal essays) and continue working on my novel.

I hope to finish Barry Longyear's "ENEMY PAPERS",the complete "ENEMY MINE" trilogy in one book, by the end of June--if not summer--at least. "Enemy Mine" is my favorite sci-fi movie with Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett,Jr. as two enemy pilots shot down over the same isolated planet and must learn to live together in peace (one was from Earth, the other was an alien) I need to get back to my novel, too. It's working title is "Hitman"--which I entered in a Writer's Digest writing contest last year (didn't win, but I proved I could do it). :)

What I Did by Christopher Wakling. I hate starting books and not finishing them, but I started this one in December and it took me months before I decided to give up on it. It's actually not a bad book and has an interesting POV, it's just kind of a required taste, and very redundant. It went on and on in the same way for a very long time. Also I was disappointed because I was under the impression that it was going to be about a couple whose young son gets run over by a car and dies, but the real plot isn't anything like it seemed to be. I got about halfway through before I just couldn't read it anymore. It probably gets interesting a little father in but I guess I'll never know, lol.

I am going to start my regular classes in June, so i will not be having enough of free time. Add to that computer classes in the evening and I am left with lesser time. Howeer in whatever time I get i will try to finish atleast one more novel I will buy.
I am planning either In The Country Of Men or In a Free State. If I wont get any of these I will have to make an on the counter decision. And yes I will try to write on more article for the newspaper at least. there is an issue coming to my mind, and carry on with my secret writing project...

I am in the process of reading 12 books at this time. Two biographies, three histories, two on science, one 1950s novel, and four SF novels. If I can finish six I'll be happy, but I'll probably start at least four others.

I've just signed a contract for an anthology story and have just started writing a book. No, June is not a good month for me to be finishing anything.

I want to have reached the middle of my book, but it's doubtful, really. I also want to have finished "The Lord of the Flies" that I'm currently reading and "The Vampire Lestat" that I bought the other day.
I've also ordered another book, "A Density of Souls", but I think I'm gonna save it for the holiday. :)
