Alright, this isn’t necessarily related to anything I’m writing, or anything science fiction / fantasy, or even writing in general, but it got such a strong reaction out of me that I had to blog about it, and this seemed like an appropriate place. There is this excellent radio show each week on NPR called… Continue reading This show made me retch

Awesome Quark writing meeting!
We had another writing meeting this Saturday, and it went really well! We had quite a few new people! I was pleasantly surprised!

It was great.… Continue reading Awesome Quark writing meeting!

So…Freaking…Tired
I moved back to Utah today. Got about two hours of sleep before leaving for the airport at 4:30 (I tried, but I couldn’t help it! I couldn’t sleep!), then basically slept, listened to podcasts, and talked with this lady from Tennessee all the way to SLC. Then, busy busy busy busy busy…holy cow! I’m… Continue reading So…Freaking…Tired
