Yesterday, as I was writing a small paper (~500 words) for PLSC 201, I realized that I would be FINISHED with classes this week today at three o’clock and I wouldn’t really have to worry about homework. What a delicious breath of freedom! So today, after I slept through the four hour-and-a-half classes that I… Continue reading Making it up on the weekend

Progress comes slowly
I feel like today was fairly productive. I finished all the homework that’s due tomorrow, put in three hours at the writing lab, went to all my classes, got up early, and now I’m going to bed relatively late, after writing for about two hours. However, I still wasn’t able to get all the writing… Continue reading Progress comes slowly
Maybe I spoke too soon…
Yeah, I thought that six pages a day wouldn’t be that hard for the rewrite of The Phoenix of Nova Terra. Well, I might be wrong. After a really awesome and refreshing Sunday, I sat down around 10:00 pm to work on Phoenix. I thought that I’d spend maybe half an hour or an hour… Continue reading Maybe I spoke too soon…
Goals update…and it’s freaking late…
Man, I’ve been really bad about my writing goals this month. I set a whole bunch of goals right as school started, and I don’t think a single day has gone by where I’ve kept all of them. Blegh, that’s disgusting. So today I took some time to rethink things and reevaluate. I figured that… Continue reading Goals update…and it’s freaking late…
Progress!
Last night I hung out with my friends Steve Dethloff and Lindsay Rowe over at Steve’s new apartment at King Henry. Had a really good time, which unfortunately involved staying up until 2:30 am. The next day I was zombified–even more than usual. I can’t keep this up much longer…need sleep… So the day pretty… Continue reading Progress!
Ggggggggroggy
Yes I am. No routine and lots of destractions equals late, late nights. I don’t think I’ve gone to bed before 2 am at any time this week, and now I’m suffering for it. Fortunately, though, this is the weekend, so I can recuperate a little. The only writing goal I’ve marginally been keeping up… Continue reading Ggggggggroggy
Three day weekends!
Ok, this is going to be a quick post because it’s late and I CRAVE sleep. I tried this semester to schedule all my classes on Tuesday and Thursday, and because of that I wasn’t rehired at the BYU bookstore because I didn’t have mornings open TTh. Suck. What’s more, I ended up having to… Continue reading Three day weekends!
Hero in Exile
Today I finally started writing my new novel. Yay! Despite the fact that it was like pulling teeth to get the words on that first page–and I’ll probably end up rewriting it a dozen times or more–it was good to fill up that empty page with something. 800 words, and even if it was hard… Continue reading Hero in Exile
New writing goals
Alright, the first week of school is behind me, I’m probably as settled in as I’m ever going to be, so it’s time I set some personal writing goals for myself this semester. So here goes. My major goal, at this point, is to have three polished novel drafts in time for World Fantasy 2009… Continue reading New writing goals
First week craziness
So, this last week was the first week of school. It was as crazy as anything. Back to classes, back to papers, readings, buying books, waking up early…everything. Fortunately, even though I’m taking six classes, three of them are only two credit hours, so the load is going to be somewhat lighter, freeing me up… Continue reading First week craziness
