Sorry for the general lack of posts these past few days. I haven’t fallen off the face of the Earth (yet), I’m just working full time and living in a place that doesn’t have reliable internet. Someone in the complex tried to set up a wireless router, and now the internet is down. For some… Continue reading Job – reliable internet = spotty posting

Almost at four
I’ve got half a dozen things I could blog about, but it’s 2 am and cleaning checks are tomorrow, so I think I’m going to give a quick update and go to bed. Worlds Away from Home is doing quite well–I’m only two chapters and five scenes from the end. I’d push really hard to… Continue reading Almost at four
Falling back into the groove
Today I surprised myself and wrote nearly 4k words, some of which might actually be good enough to keep. Huzzah! The novel is coming along very nicely, and I’m starting to get really excited with where it’s going. That’s huge, because up to this point, the nagging “this is crap, what are you doing with… Continue reading Falling back into the groove
Writer’s block? Tallyho!
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!
Mercenary Savior 3.0 is finished!
That’s right–after nearly three months, the third draft is finished! How do I feel? Tired. It’s 2:00 am and I’m just coming off of three straight hours of writing. I. Need. Sleep. I will say this, though: finishing this draft isn’t quite as satisfying, knowing that it needs at least one more revision before it’s… Continue reading Mercenary Savior 3.0 is finished!
CONduit post coming shortly
Just a micro-quick update, since it’s 2:00 am and I need to meet up with friends tomorrow morning to carpool to Salt Lake. The first day of CONduit was awesome–there were several excellent panels on writing, as well as many familiar faces from the local writing scene. I’ll blog all about it this weekend, after… Continue reading CONduit post coming shortly
Untitled
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
Quick post from Provo
This is going to be quick, because it’s late at night and I want to get some sleep. I made it to Provo. I’m currently staying with an old roommate, sleeping on his couch. To do: find a job and a place to live. Fortunately, I’ve just about got the second one secured. I talked… Continue reading Quick post from Provo
Chomping at the bit
It’s 1:30 am where I am, and I just finished reading through the second draft of Bringing Stella Home and all of my first readers’ comments. I don’t know how to describe what I’m feeling right now, but I am so ready to make this story shine! First of all, the story itself is incredibly… Continue reading Chomping at the bit
Gah! It sucks
I’m about a third of the way through To Search the Starry Sea, and my greatest fear at this point is that it isn’t as good as the last novel I wrote. Because if it isn’t as good, that means that I’m getting worse, not better, and if I’m getting worse, that means I’m never… Continue reading Gah! It sucks
