Yeah, I did. 3,841 words over the past two days–but since I only wrote about 300 words yesterday, that means I did about 3,500 words today. That brings the total word count of this novel up to 41,251 so far. Holy. Cow. It seems like whenever I write for only ten minutes, I find it… Continue reading I…splurged today
Man! I love it when stories do this!
Man, I was reading Mistborn tonight, and it was freaking amazing! I’m about 500 pages in, right up close to the end, at the part where the house war finally begins. And MAN!!!! That chapter was so awesome! The fight that Vin gets into…(dangit, can’t give away spoilers!), it just felt so GOOD! Just how… Continue reading Man! I love it when stories do this!
500 words EXACTLY
And I did it all in about half an hour before running off to an Arabic speaking appointment. But that’s not the half of it. I’ve been feeling these past few weeks that the plot in my story has been advancing very slowly. I’ve only written maybe 5,000 words in that time, but it seems… Continue reading 500 words EXACTLY
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

It will have to do for tonight. I really should get some sleep. I’ve got three tests this week: Book of Mormon, Political Science 357, and Philosophy 202. I’m not anticipating any unpleasant surprises, but I will have to study fairly hard over the next few days. However, this is good, because it will leave… Continue reading 272 words

Today, around midnight, I just had this urge to escape reality and jump into my novel. That, so far, has proven to be the most effective way to escape the strange sense of procrastination that keeps me from writing when I can. I stopped caring about sleep and just dove in. Now, I’m 717 words… Continue reading 717 words

…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!
