Pretty good. Been busy with school, work, college stuff, theater stuff, class office stuff, and other stuff.
I'm still amazed I can make time to visit this website.

You and me both. I teach, go to college, work a second job, have three kids, and am writing books.
Why the hell am I here?

I can't imagine how I'll manage it next year with my courseload from university (I plan on going to school for Pharmacy). 
How is teaching? Have your classes gotten any better in terms of the kids?

Oh Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, no.

Oh god freshman are bad enough, I can't imagine what a whole class of kids like that could be like. *shudders*
I've always had this dream of becoming a teacher after I'm all successful and whatnot, but I'm not sure I could handle anyone under 11th grade.

"successful"
Funny word to me.
I usually teach 11th grade. Not much difference here, sadly to say. First day on the job I had a girl asking me what a word was.
"That's 'author' my dear. The person who wrote what you are reading."
I'm not doing this the rest of my life. I love teaching, but f**k this. I am writing a series of novels, finding a literary agent, and then buying my wife the house she wants.
I'll need readers btw. Matt is on board.

That's.... just really pathetic. No other way to put it.
And hell, I'm all for fantasy with hammonds and mellotrons 'n sh*t  (assuming that's still what you're writing)

It is, but the keyboard devices are out.  First book is nearly done. Wife gets to read it first.
Don't worry- she reads faster than I do I think. I'm slow.

As and English teacher, either she reads freakishly fast or you need to step it up a notch. 
It would be awesome if you landed a publishing deal. As far as I can tell, from the sheer number of fantasy releases every year, landing one isn't so difficult.

I wish I read faster, but then again I don't like reading a book too quickly.

I've always been a slow, deliberate reader. Like, if I don't know a word, I look it up right them. She tears through a work a literature like it's a floor in needing of a mopping.
The fantasy releases is misleading. I've studied the market. Lots of people write fantasy, but landing an agent is difficult. That so much fantasy is published means the market is flooded.
