Okay, it’s REALLY bugging me that I don’t have a good title for my next novel. I’ve been thinking, though, and here are a few of the ones I’ve come up with: Chasing Home Exile’s End Worlds Away Worlds Apart from Home Where I Am Fallen Fallen from Home Fallen in the Wilderness I’m not… Continue reading In search of a title

Beginnings and title woes
Today, I came off my writing break and started my next novel. The makings of the first scene have been kicking around in my head for the past couple of days, but today I actually sat down and started it. I’m not sure how strong of a beginning it is, but at least it’s a… Continue reading Beginnings and title woes
When taking a break is not enough
So these past few days, I’ve been taking an unofficial break from writing. After I finished Mercenary Savior 3.0, I didn’t feel that the time was quite right to start my next project. Plus, I figured that after working so hard, I kind of deserved a break. It’s been kind of weird, though. In some… Continue reading When taking a break is not enough
Mercenary Savior 3.0 is finished!
That’s right–after nearly three months, the third draft is finished! How do I feel? Tired. It’s 2:00 am and I’m just coming off of three straight hours of writing. I. Need. Sleep. I will say this, though: finishing this draft isn’t quite as satisfying, knowing that it needs at least one more revision before it’s… Continue reading Mercenary Savior 3.0 is finished!
CONduit post coming shortly
Just a micro-quick update, since it’s 2:00 am and I need to meet up with friends tomorrow morning to carpool to Salt Lake. The first day of CONduit was awesome–there were several excellent panels on writing, as well as many familiar faces from the local writing scene. I’ll blog all about it this weekend, after… Continue reading CONduit post coming shortly
Weird slump
Man, I’m going through a really weird slump these days. Yesterday, I wrote 2.5k words, and today, I only wrote 1.5k words–this, in spite of the fact that I’m only working about three hours a day. It’s kind of frustrating. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m right at the end of this novel. I’ve got… Continue reading Weird slump
Falling behind
Man, CONduit is at the end of this week, and I’ve still got a good 14k words to go in Mercenary Savior. Today, I only wrote 1,300 words. I have no idea why my productivity has fallen so much, but it’s not good. It might not be a totally bad thing, though. I’m having trouble… Continue reading Falling behind
When life gets in the way
Just a quick post before I go to bed. Things are coming along well with the revision of Mercenary Savior–I fully expect to be finished by next week (hopefully by Tuesday). That said, these past couple of days have been very unproductive, and it’s been very frustrating. I feel as if tons of little things… Continue reading When life gets in the way
Book Festival and other updates
So last Friday, there was a book fair at the Provo Library. I only heard about it the night before from Facebook, but there were almost twenty authors on the guest list, so I figured it would be a good place to go to meet other writers. I wasn’t mistaken! I biked up to the… Continue reading Book Festival and other updates

Man, I don’t write for this blog as much as I should. Life is going well. I just recently got a part time job doing telephone surveys; hopefully, it will help tide things over until I can get something better. Between that and donating plasma, I should be able to pay the bills for the… Continue reading Untitled
