Just a quick post today. This week is already shaping up to be pretty crazy, so I may have to do a couple more just to keep up the blogging streak. Anyone remember The Phantom Tollbooth? Great movie, and an even greater book. Definitely a classic. This is my favorite song. Now to go make… Continue reading Time is a gift

Early January Update
The holidays are over. Blergh. I don’t generally do well when my routine gets broken up by outside forces, which is why this blog has fallen by the wayside for the last week or so. I’m also not very good at creating structure in my life where none exists, so during times like the holidays… Continue reading Early January Update
Writing log results
For the last month or so, I’ve been keeping track of my daily writing habits to look for patterns that might give me some insight on how to improve my creative process. I’ve amassed somewhere around 65 data points, and I think the results are clear enough to notice some trends.
Am I swamped, or am I lazy?
This post might get a little emo, so I apologize in advance. I feel like I have so much on my plate right now, and yet when I look back at what I’ve accomplished each day, I wonder if I couldn’t have been more productive. I’m moving out of my apartment on the 21st, so… Continue reading Am I swamped, or am I lazy?
Craving another retreat
Last night, I got together with an old friend from last year and went camping down in Sanpete county, in the Manti-Lasal National Forest. Even though I didn’t get a whole lot of writing done, it was a much needed change of scenery. Man, southern Utah is so different from the Salt Lake and Utah… Continue reading Craving another retreat
A word about ebook formatting
So it turns out that ebook formatting is a lot harder than I’d thought. I was hoping to finish chapter 13 in ITND tonight, but I’ve spent the whole #$@! time just trying to get “From the Ice Incarnate” up on Amazon. Fortunately, I think I have a much better idea of what I’m doing… Continue reading A word about ebook formatting
The wilderness is calling me…
…and I’m kind of hesitant to answer. Four years ago, my sister went through Wilderness Quest, a wilderness therapy organization based in Monticello, Utah. At the end of the program, I went down with my whole family for family therapy. The experience was incredible–intense, emotional, and very life changing for all of us. Fast forward… Continue reading The wilderness is calling me…
The time sink
Man, life is different outside of school. So much time, so little structure. I find that I either write a lot, or I get distracted on some side project and write almost nothing. For example, my bike broke down last week. Since that’s currently my only form of transportation besides walking, I spent a good… Continue reading The time sink
Never a good time to write
I’m on vacation now, staying with my uncle in Midland. The rest of the family will be out here in a couple of days. In the meantime, I’m visiting with relatives, going Christmas shopping, and trying to finally finish Bringing Stella Home 2.0. It’s not going to be easy, though, with all the family stuff… Continue reading Never a good time to write
I look forward to having a 9 to 5 job
I really do. School is difficult, because you can never really separate yourself from your work at the end of the day. You’ve always got homework to do for the next day, or some project to prepare, some reading to do. There’s never a defined time where it “ends.” This semester so far has been… Continue reading I look forward to having a 9 to 5 job
