Today, after I got through with my homework for tomorrow, I figured it was time to do my writing for the day, so I opened up the rough draft of Phoenix and picked up where I left off. I didn’t really feel much in the mood for writing, but forty five minutes later the library… Continue reading I love revising
AI birth…through spam?
What if the first truly autonomous, self-aware, sentient AI emerges from spam detection software? What kind of an outlook on life and the world will this newly birthed AI have? What kind of mythology would a society of these budding AIs create? What would be their thoughts and opinions on mankind? The idea for this… Continue reading AI birth…through spam?
Awesome weekend!
This was a really good weekend for writing. We had a REALLY fun writing meeting with Quark and I got some very helpful feedback for the first chapter of The Phoenix of Nova Terra (aka The Lost Colony), and now after another rewrite I feel really happy with it. On Friday, as I was walking… Continue reading Awesome weekend!
Progress!
Last night I hung out with my friends Steve Dethloff and Lindsay Rowe over at Steve’s new apartment at King Henry. Had a really good time, which unfortunately involved staying up until 2:30 am. The next day I was zombified–even more than usual. I can’t keep this up much longer…need sleep… So the day pretty… Continue reading Progress!
Cool New Title!
Hey guess what! I finally figured out a new title for the story previously known as The Lost Colony! From here on out, that story will be known as The Phoenix of Nova Terra. That title fits in so many different ways. Humanity is crawling out of the ashes of a near xenocidal war and… Continue reading Cool New Title!
Disorganization…
Yuck. My life is so disorganized right now. Behind in homework, behind in my writing, behind in my blogging, zombified with sleeplessness…ugh. First step, I guess, is to get a good night’s sleep. So that’s what I’m going to do. But first, I have been writing a little…500 words yesterday, 200 words today, rewrote the… Continue reading Disorganization…
On My Way to Paradise by Dave Wolverton
Senior Angelo Osic is a doctor in one of the refugee flooded neighborhoods of Panama. The United Socialist States of South America has launched a new war in its efforts to reshape the human race into something purer, but all of that is far away from the life Angelo lives–until an emaciated woman with a… Continue reading On My Way to Paradise by Dave Wolverton
Ggggggggroggy
Yes I am. No routine and lots of destractions equals late, late nights. I don’t think I’ve gone to bed before 2 am at any time this week, and now I’m suffering for it. Fortunately, though, this is the weekend, so I can recuperate a little. The only writing goal I’ve marginally been keeping up… Continue reading Ggggggggroggy
Three day weekends!
Ok, this is going to be a quick post because it’s late and I CRAVE sleep. I tried this semester to schedule all my classes on Tuesday and Thursday, and because of that I wasn’t rehired at the BYU bookstore because I didn’t have mornings open TTh. Suck. What’s more, I ended up having to… Continue reading Three day weekends!
Dang.
Dang. I haven’t written at all for the past two days. That’s lame. Fortunately, I have a really good idea for a short story / abstract little piece / whatever. I don’t usually write short fiction, but when I do get an idea for something, wow. It’s like Ray Bradbury: one of the characters does… Continue reading Dang.
