This semester is still kicking my ass, but thanks to a couple breaks it hasn’t been quite as bad. I had a paper due Friday for the honors proseminar I’m taking, and our teacher was kind enough to move that back to Monday. Next week, we’re doing less than a hundred pages of reading for […]
. . . but I’m actually waiting for two books on guns and weaponry so that I can continue my last editing draft. I really want to get finished, polish up the query, write the synopsis and get on the querying. Unfortunately, I still need to do the majority of those things and I also

And seriously, guys, the timing could not have been better!. I am thrilled! Even though it’s almost over, I’m actually pseudo caught up on things. Not to mention I have a morning class canceled tomorrow because of how cold it’s going to be, so I have MORE time to work on homework before I work

To quote the vlogbrothers, this LiveJournal post comes to you today in three parts. Part 1: The Good. The good is that I’ve finally finished switching The Recruited from first person to close third. I’ve been working on that since, oh, early October, so it’s wonderful to finally have the hard part out of my

So, I’ve found another writing project through over at one that will only last me through the duration of December. Right about now I’m thinking I found that project just in the nick of time, since I had just finished all my finals prep and was needing a break from the noveling. Anyway, the purpose
