So, this last week was the first week of school. It was as crazy as anything. Back to classes, back to papers, readings, buying books, waking up early…everything. Fortunately, even though I’m taking six classes, three of them are only two credit hours, so the load is going to be somewhat lighter, freeing me up… Continue reading First week craziness

Thoughts on being busy
I was browsing through some Facebook notes I’d imported from my old blog (now nonexistent), and I came across an old book review I wrote for Momo by Michael Ende. Awesome book–I recommend it 110%. However, the thing that got to me was what I’d written about how the book made me think about how… Continue reading Thoughts on being busy
First submission sent off!
Yep, that’s right! This past Thursday I sent off the first three chapters plus a synopsis to Tor for them to consider! It was all part of the English 318 final. And…I’m not exactly sure how I feel about sending it out just yet…
awesome day
Yeah, it was a really good day today. I didn’t make any progress in the last few chapters of my novel, but I did revise the first 25 pages of my novel for the English 318 final. Now, I just need to find a place where I can safely submit it…
A week away…
Wow. Only a week away from my goal to finish this novel…

I really don’t want to write this paper
As in I really, really, REALLY don’t want to write it. The class was good, and the stuff we learned was interesting (and even profoundly compelling at times), but the grading is arbitrary, the class didn’t present itself as a challenge, and I’ve already written one final paper this week. One freaking fantastic final paper… Continue reading I really don’t want to write this paper
Wow…2,500 words
Yeah, that’s quite a bit more than I thought. I started late in the day, in between sessions of conference, and basically just wrote a little bit here and there. Just now, I opened it up to finish up the current chapter, but decided against it since I’m really tired. Then I did the wordcount,… Continue reading Wow…2,500 words
One down, two to go
It’s done. Khullas. Blegh. Now I’ve just got to get it peer reviewed, edit the crap out of it, write a whole ‘nother paper for a whole ‘nother class, and I’m FREEEEEEEEEEEE!!! This is totally me.
Coming along…
Ok, so I’m doing a lot better than I thought I was in the last post. Here’s a quick update and some other cool stuff…
