Ugh, why do I always stay up until 2am? And then I don’t get up until ten. Man, I need a job–either that, or more self discipline. Just a quick post before I hit the sack. I’m making excellent progress with the revision of Mercenary Savior, regularly hitting between 7k and 8k per day. Most… Continue reading Racing along

Pulling along
Just a quick post, because it’s 3:30 am and I’ve got a TON of stuff to do tomorrow, such as: 1) cleaning checks 2) replace the air filter in my car 3) go running with my bro in law 4) finish Genesis Earth 5.0 5) band practice 6) watch Inception with a bunch of friends… Continue reading Pulling along
10k words and going strong
Today I crossed the 10k mark for my newest project, Into the Nebulous Deep. It’s a little bit behind in terms of nanwrimo, but I’m confident it will be on par before the end of the week. I wrote 2.6 words today, and I’m hoping to keep that fairly steady as I move on into… Continue reading 10k words and going strong
New projects and other stuff
So I started the sequel to Mercenary Savior today; I figure I can take a couple months off to finish the rough draft, then leave it in the trunk until the first one sells. The working title of this one is Into the Nebulous Deep, which captures the main premise quite nicely (though let me… Continue reading New projects and other stuff
Awesome writing group activity with Dan Wells
Went to an awesome Quark writing group activity tonight with Dan Wells. It was great. We critiqued stories, had a Q&A, and then played the Battlestar Galactica game. Good, good times. The new series of BSG is amazing. It quite literally inspired my first novel: a story set in a universe where a cylon-style humans… Continue reading Awesome writing group activity with Dan Wells
Blarg!
What a crappy unproductive day. This morning, I had all sorts of technical difficulties with my podcatcher and mp3 player. Spent so much time fixing those that I got no writing time in whatsoever. Work actually got out on time today, which was nice, but I had so many chores to do before institute that… Continue reading Blarg!
Dog dead workdays and killing your characters
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
Danger: difficult plot ahead
Just a quick post before I turn in and try to catch up on the sleep that I didn’t get last night (insomnia sucks). I’m entering a very difficult part of the revision for Mercenary Savior. I’m a little more than a third of the way through the story (as you can tell from the… Continue reading Danger: difficult plot ahead
Confessions of a delinquent blogger
Man, so much has been happening, but now that I’m working an eight to five job, I never have the time to blog about it. It’s 2am and I’m running on only four hours of sleep from the previous night. Oh well, it’s a weekend. Here goes. I passed the 50k mark for the rewrite… Continue reading Confessions of a delinquent blogger
