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

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!
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!
