Yeah, I thought that six pages a day wouldn’t be that hard for the rewrite of The Phoenix of Nova Terra. Well, I might be wrong. After a really awesome and refreshing Sunday, I sat down around 10:00 pm to work on Phoenix. I thought that I’d spend maybe half an hour or an hour… Continue reading Maybe I spoke too soon…

Letter to the Daily Universe
My roommate Matt wrote this awesome letter to The Daily Universe last year (scroll down to the heading “Message for Sisters” to read his letter), and garnered some incredibly hilarious responses from the BYU community. He struck a tightly strung chord in this community, something that everyone here at BYU spends a lot of time… Continue reading Letter to the Daily Universe
New job!
This past week I just started a new job at BYU. I’m a writing advisor for the FHSS (Family of Home and Social Sciences) writing lab. It’s GREAT! I help students work on their papers and work on their writing skills, and I really love it. How I got this job is an interesting story. … Continue reading New job!
Goals update…and it’s freaking late…
Man, I’ve been really bad about my writing goals this month. I set a whole bunch of goals right as school started, and I don’t think a single day has gone by where I’ve kept all of them. Blegh, that’s disgusting. So today I took some time to rethink things and reevaluate. I figured that… Continue reading Goals update…and it’s freaking late…
Progress!
Last night I hung out with my friends Steve Dethloff and Lindsay Rowe over at Steve’s new apartment at King Henry. Had a really good time, which unfortunately involved staying up until 2:30 am. The next day I was zombified–even more than usual. I can’t keep this up much longer…need sleep… So the day pretty… Continue reading Progress!
Disorganization…
Yuck. My life is so disorganized right now. Behind in homework, behind in my writing, behind in my blogging, zombified with sleeplessness…ugh. First step, I guess, is to get a good night’s sleep. So that’s what I’m going to do. But first, I have been writing a little…500 words yesterday, 200 words today, rewrote the… Continue reading Disorganization…
Ggggggggroggy
Yes I am. No routine and lots of destractions equals late, late nights. I don’t think I’ve gone to bed before 2 am at any time this week, and now I’m suffering for it. Fortunately, though, this is the weekend, so I can recuperate a little. The only writing goal I’ve marginally been keeping up… Continue reading Ggggggggroggy
Three day weekends!
Ok, this is going to be a quick post because it’s late and I CRAVE sleep. I tried this semester to schedule all my classes on Tuesday and Thursday, and because of that I wasn’t rehired at the BYU bookstore because I didn’t have mornings open TTh. Suck. What’s more, I ended up having to… Continue reading Three day weekends!
Hero in Exile
Today I finally started writing my new novel. Yay! Despite the fact that it was like pulling teeth to get the words on that first page–and I’ll probably end up rewriting it a dozen times or more–it was good to fill up that empty page with something. 800 words, and even if it was hard… Continue reading Hero in Exile
First week craziness
So, this last week was the first week of school. It was as crazy as anything. Back to classes, back to papers, readings, buying books, waking up early…everything. Fortunately, even though I’m taking six classes, three of them are only two credit hours, so the load is going to be somewhat lighter, freeing me up… Continue reading First week craziness
