I’m not going to lie, I really didn’t like this book when I first started it. In fact, after I got about 100 pages into it, I got disgusted and stopped reading it. But there were some things that just kept coming back into my mind, like the fascinating relativistic space battles and the basic… Continue reading The Forever War by Joe Haldeman — part one

Citizen of the Galaxy by Robert A. Heinlein
I was browsing around in Pioneer Book about a week ago (and Pioneer Book is an awesome place to hang out if you like books–they’re used, but cheap, and it’s really fun just to go and get lost in there!) and I saw a few used Heinlein books for sale. I don’t know too much… Continue reading Citizen of the Galaxy by Robert A. Heinlein
2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clark
As I’ve become more and more involved in writing Science Fiction, I’ve felt a strong desire to educate myself on the genre and read the major Sci Fi books that have come before me. I want to do this so that I can make my own works stronger, and also because I really enjoy them.… Continue reading 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clark
Some of my short story ideas
Alright, here are the two ideas I have right now. I’m not really at a good stopping point for The Lost Colony yet, but I think I can slow down enough to divide my attention. The first one I got when I finished 2001: A Space Odyssey just last week. I was thinking about dating… Continue reading Some of my short story ideas
Zion and Babylon
So, I got back yesterday from my spontaneous trip with my old roommates! It was a lot of fun! Definitely worth skipping the last couple of days of classes! However, I can’t figure out how to upload pictures to this particular blog–I’m sure there’s a way to do it, I’m just not all that proficient… Continue reading Zion and Babylon
rrrrrrRRRRRRR!!!!!!! ALRIGHT I’M GOING!!!!!!!!!
Drek says this blog is boring. He says he doesn’t like reading post after post about how many words I did each day. He says my life as a writer is boring. I’m going to cry. But I have a chance to redeem myself. Because my old roommates are completely and totally insane. They decided… Continue reading rrrrrrRRRRRRR!!!!!!! ALRIGHT I’M GOING!!!!!!!!!
Favorite Overclocked Remixes
So, Drek and I were having a chat the other day online, and we started sharing favorite songs from this website called ocremix. It’s a really awesome site for free fan-made arrangements and remixes of video game music, and it’s really cool because so much of the music comes from REALLY old games–I mean, games… Continue reading Favorite Overclocked Remixes
One of the first stories I ever wrote
I was looking around in some of the old files that I have, and I came across this old piece. It’s one of the first stories that I ever wrote–probably the first piece of creative fiction that I wrote outside of school. I remember writing this! It was back in 5th grade, so that would… Continue reading One of the first stories I ever wrote
A couple of awesome Quark meetings
So, this week we had not one but two Quark writing group meetings. And they both were really good! There was a surprisingly good turnout at each one, and I think that everyone went away with some good feedback for their stories. Plus, some of the newer guys are getting motivated to write stuff of… Continue reading A couple of awesome Quark meetings
Another awesome writing meeting!
So, we had a writing meeting last Tuesday! There were quite a few people there! Gamila, Jakeson, Danke, Travis, Drek, Kaci, Ben (his board name is the same as his real name, believe it or not!), Tom, and Patrick (I think that’s it, but I’m not sure. If I forgot your name, please forgive me!),… Continue reading Another awesome writing meeting!
