I know I said I was going to do NaNoWriMo this year, and I did get 3600 words into the novel, but I'm bailing. It's not because I couldn't make time to finish it -- I could. It's not because I had any doubt that I'd actually ...
As most of you know by now, I've started publishing a magazine (Mormon Artist -- the second issue will be out in a week or so, by the way). Turns out there's a blog called The Red Brick Store (thanks to Liz for the heads-up), which ...
I've got two semi-largish writing projects on the horizon. The more immediate (and smaller) of the two is a 40–50 page one-act play for the playwriting class I'm taking, due Tuesday. (I'm about seven or eight pages into it so far.) The more mammoth project is NaNoWriMo (National ...

I graduated a year and a half ago, and since that time I haven't taken any classes. That's going to change this Tuesday. Now that I'm full-time, you see, I get free tuition, and I can take up to six credits a semester. Being addicted to learning ...
