…and I’m so freaking tired that I’m going to bed NOW. At least I wrote something today!
Um, yeah…only 66 words tonight…
But at least I wrote SOMETHING. Around 10:30 at night, I went and visited my old roommate Steve who’s a film major. He was trying to finish a screenplay and get it in before midnight, so I decided to come and write with him in the same room. So then, got home, took a shower,… Continue reading Um, yeah…only 66 words tonight…
Thank God for Political Science!
Man, I am SO happy that I’m a Political Science major! I can’t say it enough! I will NEVER have to worry about looking back and saying “man, why didn’t I major in Political Science?” That right there is a mightily compelling reason! But there are a lot more reasons as well! A LOT. For… Continue reading Thank God for Political Science!
1,100 words and a very fun Nanowrimo writing party!
I’ve been wanting to organize some more informal get togethers with Quark. I heard from Gamila that it’s really the informal get togethers that Aneeka threw together back in the day that got the ball rolling with the writing group. Of course, when I was talking online with Drek about this and venting / bouncing… Continue reading 1,100 words and a very fun Nanowrimo writing party!

1,233 words on this hot date with my science fiction novel
I’m past the part that I was hung up on, and now I’m in a good part. The story is advancing quickly, and it’s really coming together quite naturally. Yay! I didn’t write yesterday, but I more than made up for it today. I love it how when you have vague ideas before you sit… Continue reading 1,233 words on this hot date with my science fiction novel
Yay! 790 words!
This is going to be really short, because it’s very late and I’ve got to sleep (preferably not in church tomorrow). I picked up the novel tonight and got another 790 words in. Yay! So I’m not stuck as bad as I’d thought! I’ll just have to rewrite that one part at some time. And… Continue reading Yay! 790 words!
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
I thought this was supposed to be fun…
Well, it is. At least, the net effect is fun. But the day to day writing can be kind of…difficult. I’ve made some progress in the last few days, even though I neglected to write about it here. Mostly, it’s just been between classes or insanely late at night, so I haven’t had time to… Continue reading I thought this was supposed to be fun…
