The second draft of my novel is finished! Yay! I finished up the last scene of the last chapter of Genesis Earth 2.0 this morning, as well as the epilogue, and sent it out to my beta readers. Would you believe that I’ve got 25 people reading this thing? That’s almost double as many first… Continue reading It’s finished!

Almost done!
Yay! I’m almost done with Genesis Earth 2.0! 6k words of revision done today, bringing the project up to 95% complete. Just the final scene of the final chapter, and then the epilogue, and she’s done! (Well, at least the second draft is done. She’s probably going to need a lot more work after that, but… Continue reading Almost done!
Some thoughts
This is going to be real quick, since it’s 1:30 am and General Conference is tomorrow. The revision is going along really well for Genesis Earth–I am really excited about this project. My only regret is that I don’t have more time to dedicate to it. As it is, I’m probably putting too much time… Continue reading Some thoughts
Many Bothans died to bring you this weekend
This past week was pretty crazy. Tests, papers, homework…BLEARGH. Less than satisfying. What’s more, I was starting to get cabin fever from being in Provo so long. Every day, doing the same old thing, going the same old places, seeing the same old sights… …Then I got a call from my friend Ben Fisher, saying… Continue reading Many Bothans died to bring you this weekend
Progress!
I’m sludging through the middle of Bringing Estella Home. I’ve heard people call this the “blue collar work” of writing, all the parts between the beginning chapters and climactic ending chapters. I believe it. In particular, I was having some difficulty with chapter 7 last week. I have, basically, three separate plot threads tied up… Continue reading Progress!
Star Wars Euphoria
Ok, here’s a funny story. Sunday, I usually don’t go anywhere, so when I parked my car on Saturday I set it to play the main title of Star Wars as soon as I put the keys in the ignition. I figured that by the time I needed to drive anywhere, I would have forgotten… Continue reading Star Wars Euphoria
It’s done!
205 pages, 57,499 words, thirteen chapters and an epilogue–Genesis Earth is FINISHED!!! It really did get more and more difficult the closer I got to the end. The last part of the last chapter, in particular, was very difficult. I can’t exactly tell you why, without giving away the story, but…let’s just say, it was… Continue reading It’s done!
Section one complete
Yes! I finished section 1 of my novel Hero in Exile today (the rough draft, at least). The main character, Tristen, just had everything he thought he knew pulled right out from under him, and now he’s on his way “home” to a world he knows nothing about. New characters, new problems, change of scenery,… Continue reading Section one complete
Hooray!
Yay! I’m FINALLY past the really difficult part of the story. And man, I’ve written so much these past two days. 3,199 words today, 2,727 yesterday! That’s something of an accomplishment! Of course, that doesn’t mean that I’d ever let anyone see what I just wrote. Holy cow, it is so rough! It’s probably riddled… Continue reading Hooray!
