And it doesn’t help when you’re sick. Yeah, I think I’m coming down with something. It’s kind of…demotivating.
Still, 715 words isn’t too shabby. I’ll definitely write more over the weekend. What’s more, a pretty little romance story has sprouted up in my novel…
…so I did today. A lot. Somewhere around 1,500 words–though I wish I could write more. Progress is being made. As to the final status of this novel, well, I don’t know…it’s hard not to have doubts…
I wanted to read one of the books that was written right around the time when science fiction as a genre was just starting to form, so I decided to read this classic by Jules Verne. Even though I knew the story already, it was fairly enjoyable to read, and I noticed a few things in it that are typical of the genre even today…

Yeah, in our English 318 class on Thursday Brandon started talking about this novel he’s thinking about writing after he finishes the 12th book in the wheel of time series. Since blogging is always a frenzy of people trying to be the first ones to break news, I thought I’d join in the general pandemonium and write about what he said…
I had this great idea for a story the other day, and it sounded a lot like Hans Christian Anderson’s The Little Mermaid, so I decided to read it (the original, of course) to see what the story is like. Having read it, I can definitely see why it is considered to be a classic–and how it could motivate people to build a statue in honor of it…
I was surfing around on the internet the other day, looking on writing blogs, and I found something that was surprisingly encouraging. It was a comment by Muneraven on one of the pages of a really interesting blog called DeepGenre, and here is what it said:
