This is going to be real quick, since it’s 1:30 am and General Conference is tomorrow. The revision is going along really well for Genesis Earth–I am really excited about this project. My only regret is that I don’t have more time to dedicate to it. As it is, I’m probably putting too much time… Continue reading Some thoughts

Many Bothans died to bring you this weekend
This past week was pretty crazy. Tests, papers, homework…BLEARGH. Less than satisfying. What’s more, I was starting to get cabin fever from being in Provo so long. Every day, doing the same old thing, going the same old places, seeing the same old sights… …Then I got a call from my friend Ben Fisher, saying… Continue reading Many Bothans died to bring you this weekend
Slow but steady
Okay, quick post before I go to bed. Things are progressing in this novel, slowly but surely, as you can see from the wordcount. Unlike past weeks, I’m not pushing myself too hard, mostly because I’ve got a lot of schoolwork right now and if I were to spend much more time on this novel,… Continue reading Slow but steady
LTUE 2009
Wow. Life, the Universe, and Everything 2009 is over, and it’s hard to believe that only three days have passed. It feels as if this symposium has been going on for a week, and that’s a good thing. Friday and Saturday, I spent practically every waking moment in the Wilk, the student center where the… Continue reading LTUE 2009
Quick update
Just a quick update on what I’ve been up to, since I don’t write often enough on this blog anymore. The past week was really busy–at least, it seemed to be, because I was constantly doing things. Whether those things were productive or not remains to be seen. However, I’ve broken the 37,000 mark on… Continue reading Quick update
It’s been a while
Man, it’s been a while since I wrote on this blog. I guess I’m caught in the semester tailspin or something. Writing’s going really well, though. I’m about 100 pages into Bringing Estella Home right now, and even though I’m probably a day or two behind where I’d like to be, I’m generally right on… Continue reading It’s been a while
Star Wars Euphoria
Ok, here’s a funny story. Sunday, I usually don’t go anywhere, so when I parked my car on Saturday I set it to play the main title of Star Wars as soon as I put the keys in the ignition. I figured that by the time I needed to drive anywhere, I would have forgotten… Continue reading Star Wars Euphoria
Productivity breakdown
I’ve been thinking a lot about the writing I accomplished in the past few semesters. In some ways, I worry that I’ve become a lot more disorganized and a lot less productive than I was a year ago. Back in winter ’08, I took a couple of really difficult classes, got up early each morning… Continue reading Productivity breakdown
Back in school
So, school has started again! As fun as the vacation was, it’s good to be back. I think I’ve more or less finalized my schedule by now. I’m taking an Arabic grammar class, a poli sci class on Islamic politics (taught by an Arab guy who drove ambulances in Lebanon during the Israeli invasion/occupation in… Continue reading Back in school
Freedom!
YES!!! Exams are over! Finished them just a couple of days ago, and now I’m at home back in Massachusetts. Ah, sweet freedom! No school obligations, no stresses for papers or projects or grades or anything! Lots and lots of free time! …and with that free time, I’m going to undertake something almost ridiculously impossible:… Continue reading Freedom!
