Quick update (yes, I’m still alive)

I just had an awesome weekend.  Saw the most amazing cave complex of my life, toured Kakheti o a TLG excursion, met a bunch of really cool people, and hung out with them in Tbilisi for a while.  I’ll have to save all that for another blog post, though, probably in a couple of days. Rumor… Continue reading Quick update (yes, I’m still alive)

Summer To Do list

They say that the three main perks to being a teacher are June, July, and August, and that’s as true for TEFL teachers as it is for any other kind.  I’m spending June in Georgia, but for July and August, I’ll be back in the States.  Instead of vacationing, though, I plan to be working… Continue reading Summer To Do list

Yesterday’s Gone: Episode One by Sean Platt & David Wright

Imagine you wake up tomorrow, and find out that everyone around you has vanished.  Well…not everyone.  But the ones who are still around claim to see strange things that you can’t see.  And then, you get an eerie feeling of a presence…something dangerous, something coming at you right now.  And then, things get really weird… Yesterday’s… Continue reading Yesterday’s Gone: Episode One by Sean Platt & David Wright

“On hold” with WOTF

I have some interesting news.  My first quarter submission to the Writers of the Future contest has been put “on hold,” following the untimely passing of the contest’s coordinating judge, K.D. Wentworth.  Here’s the email I received this morning: Dear Entrant, I wanted to let you know that we have a delay in the handling… Continue reading “On hold” with WOTF

Trope Tuesday postponed again

Sorry, but no Trope Tuesday post this week.  Long story short, more internet problems–I’m blogging right now from the McDonald’s on Tch’avtch’avadze Street.  Since my battery’s running out, this is going to have to be a quick post. I suppose I should ask, though: what tropes do you want me to cover in the future?… Continue reading Trope Tuesday postponed again

Still here

Sorry about missing the Trope Tuesday post yesterday.  My internet was sporadic, and I didn’t think it was worth it to keep refreshing every time I wanted to access tvtropes.  I’ll make it up next week with a good one. The rest of the week is going to be pretty busy.  We have a make-up… Continue reading Still here

Trope Tuesday: Language of Love

Oh look!  While traveling in distant lands, the hero met a girl–probably the chief’s daughter–and fell (or rather, stumbled) in love.  The catch?  Neither of them speak the same language. That’s okay, though: through the power of love, the two of them will somehow find a way to understand each other.  Whether through touch, music,… Continue reading Trope Tuesday: Language of Love

Q1 2012, or what writer’s angst looks like

Actually, this last quarter wasn’t quite so bad as the title might make it seem.  For the first part, I was on roll, writing almost 25k new words a week.  But then I finished that project, started a new career, moved to the other side of the world…yeah, my writing took a hit.  Or at… Continue reading Q1 2012, or what writer’s angst looks like

Back to writing (and publishing)

I was snowed in again this weekend, so I took advantage of the time to work on my writing–specifically, to figure out what to work on next.  Things have been kind of crazy these past few weeks, so I haven’t written very much, but now that I’ve settled into a new routine, it should be… Continue reading Back to writing (and publishing)
