I’ve been going on a lot of late night walks lately, just wandering restlessly around Provo. Tonight I had some interesting thoughts about how much I’ve changed in the last year. Surprisingly, I’ve grown a lot. Last year at this time, I was all geared up for World Fantasy Convention. I had just finished Bringing… Continue reading Random late night thoughts

Looking for a life experience
This week, I got hit by some good news and some bad news. The good news was that I got a short term seasonal job, delivering phone books. That should keep me solvent for the rest of the month, at least until I can find something slightly more permanent. The bad news? I heard back… Continue reading Looking for a life experience
Slogging through a funk
Just a quick update, since it’s 3 am and I’m kind of in a daze after playing Halo: Reach on Xbox live with my roommate. Whoa, decompressing… This whole week, I’ve been in a weird funk. It sucks to be unemployed, especially since I can’t commit to anything long term because I’m waiting to hear… Continue reading Slogging through a funk
Change in direction
Just a quick update on things before I go to bed. After giving it some thought, I’ve decided to put Into the Nebulous Deep on hold for the time being. The main reason for this is that it’s a direct sequel to Mercenary Savior, and if the first one doesn’t sell…yeah, not the best business… Continue reading Change in direction
Thanksgiving report from Texas
So for Thanksgiving this year, I drove down with my sister and brother in law to have Thanksgiving in Houston with my other sister’s family. It’s Friday night, and I’m about to hit the sack to get prepped for the long 24+ hour drive back to Utah, but let me say, this vacation has been… Continue reading Thanksgiving report from Texas
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
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!
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
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
End in sight
Things are winding down for my current work in progress, Worlds Away from Home–or should I say winding up, since I’m just a chapter or two from the major climax? In any case, by the end of the week, inshallah, the rough draft will be finished. <crosses fingers> It’s been tough, but I’m cautiously optimistic… Continue reading End in sight
