Just a quick post before I go to bed. Health problems suck when all you’ve got is catastrophic insurance. I started breaking out in this weird rash last week, and I went into the clinic today. It was seventy five dollars well spent, but…man, seventy five dollars? So between taking the bus all over the… Continue reading Writer’s block? Tallyho!

Falling behind
Man, CONduit is at the end of this week, and I’ve still got a good 14k words to go in Mercenary Savior. Today, I only wrote 1,300 words. I have no idea why my productivity has fallen so much, but it’s not good. It might not be a totally bad thing, though. I’m having trouble… Continue reading Falling behind
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
Book Festival and other updates
So last Friday, there was a book fair at the Provo Library. I only heard about it the night before from Facebook, but there were almost twenty authors on the guest list, so I figured it would be a good place to go to meet other writers. I wasn’t mistaken! I biked up to the… Continue reading Book Festival and other updates

Man, I don’t write for this blog as much as I should. Life is going well. I just recently got a part time job doing telephone surveys; hopefully, it will help tide things over until I can get something better. Between that and donating plasma, I should be able to pay the bills for the… Continue reading Untitled
Graduation!
So last week, I graduated from college! That’s right: college is OVER! No more papers, no more homework, no more tests or quizzes or theses or final projects…at least until I decide I miss it all and go back to grad school. It was a big week, not only because of the ceremonies, but because… Continue reading Graduation!
Pluggin’ away
Wrote 2,889 words today, bringing the running 7-day total to just under 15,000 words. If I can keep this up for a month without lagging, I should be able to finish Mercenary Savior 3.0 in time for CONduit. In the meantime, I’m looking for a job. A friend of mine who’s in Egypt right now… Continue reading Pluggin’ away
So much happening, so little getting done
…in terms of writing, that is. I got a lot of little and not-so-little things done today, but didn’t spend much time writing. Only got about 855 words, when I need to be averaging 2.5k per day in order to finish Mercenary Savior before CONduit. The weirdest part is that I have so much free… Continue reading So much happening, so little getting done
Quark has a new writing VP
That’s right; her board name is Jimmy and she’s basically doing it the same way I did it–by jumping in the deep end first. Joined quark last semester, went to a few writing meetings, and pow! Writing VP. Anyways, we had some interesting conversations after the last writing group meeting of the semester. Basically, I… Continue reading Quark has a new writing VP
Quarterly report
So I figure that since I want to write professionally, it would be a good idea to keep track of my writing and do quarterly updates on my blog. Here’s the first one for this year: The red line shows my daily writing word count, the blue line a running seven day total. The graph… Continue reading Quarterly report
