What I’ve been up to recently
I thought it would be a good idea to do a quick post explaining what I’ve been up to the past month or so, since a lot of things have changed and I’m sure they will be changing a lot more in the future. So, here’s what’s up: As you may or may not know,… Continue reading What I’ve been up to recently
Random late night thoughts
I’ve been going on a lot of late night walks lately, just wandering restlessly around Provo. Tonight I had some interesting thoughts about how much I’ve changed in the last year. Surprisingly, I’ve grown a lot. Last year at this time, I was all geared up for World Fantasy Convention. I had just finished Bringing… Continue reading Random late night thoughts
Decisions suck, writing is awesome
Whew! I just finished revising through almost 9k words in Desert Stars. I’ve only got three more chapters and an epilogue to go, and man, I am so excited about this story! I have no doubt it’s my best work yet. Of course, I might be biased. 😉 Star Wanderers is also coming along very… Continue reading Decisions suck, writing is awesome
Let the job hunt begin!
All right, I just updated my resume to account for the last year or so, and I’m ready to start looking aggressively for work. Given the state of the economy, I’m not optimistic that it will lead anywhere, but hey might as well give it a shot. The ideal job would be something part time… Continue reading Let the job hunt begin!
Q3 Report, 2011
Before I move on to other, more interesting subjects, I want to take a little bit of time to review how my writing went in the past three months. For those of you who may be new, this is something I like to do at the start of each new quarter. Keeps me honest, I… Continue reading Q3 Report, 2011
Difficult choices and keeping perspective
So I have some news, and it’s probably going to freak my parents out a little bit…I decided to turn down the full-time job offer that I mentioned a few weeks ago. The company is great, they treat their employees well, I got along well with everyone there–so why not take the job? Because it… Continue reading Difficult choices and keeping perspective
Writer’s angst & post-convention ennui
In spite of the title of this post, I’ll try not to get too emo. Not sure how well I’ll succeed, but at least I’ll try. Worldcon was great, but it put me into something of a writing slump and I’m not sure where to go next. I was planning on writing the as-yet untitled… Continue reading Writer’s angst & post-convention ennui
News, a correction, and an awesome AvB remix
Today I was supposed to finish the second draft of Sholpan, but I moved apartments this weekend, so everything got thrown completely out of whack. I’m all moved into my new place now (with some awesome Quarkie roommates), but Sholpan is going to have to wait until Monday. Fortunately, I’ve only got a couple of… Continue reading News, a correction, and an awesome AvB remix
Quick update
Just an update before I go to bed (and hopefully don’t sleep in like this morning). My writing’s tapered off a bit this past month, partially because I’ve got a lot on my plate (Worldcon, online TEFL course, moving apartments, working full time, etc), but also because I’m between projects and not totally absorbed in… Continue reading Quick update
