I am exactly two weeks and a day into the semester and already I’m thinking I might die. Was it wrong of me to sit back and think, “Oh, well, I got the classes I wasn’t terribly excited about out of the way last semester, and besides, how much work can two classes through the […]

I’m not sure how to feel about this. On the one hand, I’m ready to go back to having something to do other than sit around on my ass. I get this way sometimes. After awhile I just get bored of doing the things I usually do and want to go out and do something

Lately I’ve been feeling the writing blues, which, at least for me, is a mindset in which I don’t want to do anything regarding my stories. The Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award is coming up on January 24th, which means ideally I’d like to have The Recruited fully edited by that point. I know my chances

The title pretty much says it all. I’ve completed the Reverb 2010 challenge as of this morning. It proved to be really interesting, reflecting back on the past year. I learned a fair bit about myself in the process, which I guess, is one of the things the creators were hoping for. Plus, it was

So, I’ve found another writing project through over at one that will only last me through the duration of December. Right about now I’m thinking I found that project just in the nick of time, since I had just finished all my finals prep and was needing a break from the noveling. Anyway, the purpose
News on the NaNoWriMo front: I did manage to win. It was definitely NOT pretty, and I’m definitely NOT going back to the story now that I have my 50,000 words completed, but at least I can say that I have won successfully two out of two years in a row. What can I say?
I’ve noticed a lot of these going around, and I figured it wouldn’t be the world’s worst idea to write one up, a time capsule of sorts so I remember what I’m grateful for now, if not all of these things come around next year. 1. My familyI love my family to death, and this

I have come to an important decision regarding my Nano novel. Namely, that when I am finished with the 50,000 words, it is going to be put aside. I actually made this decision a few nights ago, and it’s been a struggle not to stop writing since. After all, there’s revisions on The Recruited to
So, here’s how the two events I was crowing about in my last entry went down. Humans vs. Zombies: I stayed human until–wait for it–Tuesday. Morning. Pretty pathetic, huh? A girl got me as I was on my way to my first class, when I was looking for people on my other side. On the
