For anyone on campus interested in the Association of Mormon Letters, Katherine Morris has created a student chapter:
Hello everyone,
I'd like to announce the new BYU student chapter of AML. We're chartered through the BYU College of Humanities, and Gideon Burton is our advisor. We just became official quite recently, ...
I'm dead tired. But there's no stopping -- so much to do within the next four or five days. Saturday is going to be the most blessed day in my life. (Well, in this week, at least. ;)) Anyway, since I'm too tired to write anything ...
I've been meaning to submit pieces to student journals and other magazines and such for a while, but each time I get frozen into the "meaning to" and don't get any further. ARGH! :) We know which road is paved with good intentions. (Actually, I don't know ...
One of the first items of business for me when starting a new project is coming up with a name. Names matter a lot to me; a good name is a catalyst, energizing me to work on the project and inspiring me with a fountain of ideas, but a ...

After the priesthood session of general conference, I walked over to the library and went down to the religion section to browse the shelves. Came out with two novels: Gerald Lund's Jenny Haller (which I mainly checked out because part of the book takes place in the BYU library) ...
I find that when I'm not quite sure what to post about, I decide to write a string with several beads of topics on it. And that's what I'll do today. :)
1. Writing in this blog, or writing e-mails for that matter, is a lot more fun than doing ...
Remember how I mentioned a little while ago about a crazy idea to start a web magazine? I'm still planning on it, and one of the things I'll do (both for it and for this blog) is start interviewing people. There's a lot of interesting work being done ...
