This post is going to be super quick because I’m dead tired. Due to power surges and computer glitches, I had to work overtime today and yesterday at the warehouse, so I really haven’t had time for anything except writing and a little socializing at Leading Edge. However, things are going well. I’ll get the… Continue reading Dog dead workdays and killing your characters

Just another update
Just another quick update, before I crash. Went to the Book Academy Conference at UVU today. It was fun, with several excellent panels by some local authors. More about that in a later post. My new mp3 player arrived today: a refurbished iRiver T10. An ancient, nearly obsolete machine, but it’s got a good quality… Continue reading Just another update
Weird slump
Man, I’m going through a really weird slump these days. Yesterday, I wrote 2.5k words, and today, I only wrote 1.5k words–this, in spite of the fact that I’m only working about three hours a day. It’s kind of frustrating. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m right at the end of this novel. I’ve got… Continue reading Weird slump
When life gets in the way
Just a quick post before I go to bed. Things are coming along well with the revision of Mercenary Savior–I fully expect to be finished by next week (hopefully by Tuesday). That said, these past couple of days have been very unproductive, and it’s been very frustrating. I feel as if tons of little things… Continue reading When life gets in the way
Life in the Real World
So it’s been a week since I graduated, and life in the “real world” is very different from academia. In some ways, it’s scary, but in other ways, it’s actually kind of fun. Freedom from schoolwork is HUGE. Seriously, I had no idea how much day-to-day stress came from school until now. Without this or… Continue reading Life in the Real World
Freaking busy
Sorry for not posting; I’ve been ridiculously busy these past few days. As in, I don’t think I can remember ever being this busy. Maybe when I was taking PL SC 310, but then again…that was more stressful than busy. I’m working two jobs (two awesome TA jobs, by the way), I’m taking 15 credit… Continue reading Freaking busy
School is kicking my trash
It’s true. This is what my wordcount spreadsheet currently looks like: Note that the seven day totals are dropping consistently. If I want to finish this novel before World Fantasy, I’m going to have to keep that number above 7,800…not including the work on Genesis Earth 4.0. Something tells me that’s going to be very… Continue reading School is kicking my trash
Busy busy AWESOME day
I had an awesome day today. Totally awesome. If every day this semester is like this one, I’ll be dead tired before Thanksgiving but so happy it won’t even matter. It started at 7am. Woke up, worked out, read a galley from Dragon Moon Press for Leading Edge while working out. The book wasn’t that… Continue reading Busy busy AWESOME day
I’m back!
Wow, I’m back from vacation. Not “back” as in back in Utah, but “back” as in no longer at the cape. We drove home to Western Massachusetts this evening and arrived just a couple hours ago. Family vacation this year was lots of fun! It was me, mom and pop, and Sarah and Mykle at… Continue reading I’m back!
Uh oh…more projects?
That’s right. I recently formed a writing group with some friends, and decided to workshop Bringing Stella Home through it. They went through the first chapter yesterday and tore it apart. I appreciate the help a TON, but I’m going to have to start making revision to it now, so that subsequent submissions to the… Continue reading Uh oh…more projects?
