I didn’t do a whole lot of writing today, just a little bit in my story for English 318. I did, however, research some markets and give out Decision LZ150207 to some beta readers. I’m also starting to figure out some new plans for my story The Clearest Vision…

I took a break from The Lost Colony tonight to edit two of my short stories, The Clearest Vision and Decision LZ150207. I want to send both of those out to contests in the near future, so I want to polish them up and send them out. I’m really optimistic about it.

This novel was good. I wanted to suggest it in English 318 when we were listing sci fi / fantasy novels to read as a class.

English 318 has begun!
Yesterday was the first day of English 318 with Brandon Sanderson! I’m really excited for it! I can tell already that this is going to be a very interesting class–especially because it’s taught by someone who actually writes good fantasy, not just someone who can criticize it. Brandon is a real cool guy and I… Continue reading English 318 has begun!
