This song makes me feel great.

In other news, I've given up on FLESH AND GLASS for the thousandth time. Chances are I'll be itching for it again by next week.

But in the meantime, I've been toying with a Beauty and the Beast retelling that somehow wound up sporting a heavy theme of insanity. I've also been reading some of FRAGILE THINGS by Neil ( Read more... )

 Okay Landon.

You have put up with enough of this trash. You must be bigger than this novel. (This novel is pretty damn big.)

You know you've just got to get it out of your system. Once you have a foundation, there's no stopping you.

That foundation starts tonight. It didn't start four months ago, when you first tried to outline this idea. It didn't ( Read more... )

Wow...it's been forever since I've updated here. I suppose there just hasn't been anything to report. I'm still stuck in the limbo phase (FLESH AND GLASS / New Idea / Just keep pouring out weird short stories) where I can't decide on anything.  The most recent thing I've written was a trippy short story, like, half an hour ago. It was inspired by ( Read more... )

 Well, I'm another year older as of Valentine's Day, if it counts for anything. I don't feel older or think older, but the change seems nasty in an abstract way.

The day was fun, although I had to fight through classwork and the fact that it's still quite dreary outside. Had a few people over, read a bit of INCARCERON (which is fantastic so far, by ( Read more... )

 So yesterday, when opening up my email, I found a review alert from FictionPress. This seemed really weird to me, as I hadn't even been active on FP since October 2nd. I open the email, and end up gaping at the screen for a good few minutes.

The cause of my awe? Well, this is the review, and THIS is what it deals with.

I was nominated for a SKoW ( Read more... )

 Okay. Confession: I'm a whimp. My brain (to be cheesy--heart?) won't give up on FLESH AND GLASS. It wants so badly to be told, and I don't quite know why.

Around Christmas, I discovered this video, and I can't help but think it has something to do with it:

Today has been a grim day.

Why?

First, and probably least importantly, MuggleNet announced Alexander Desplat will compose the score for DEATHLY HALLOWS: Part I. Which may not sound all that earth-shattering, but I must say my hopes were set on John Williams. *Sigh* Oh well.

Second, exams are this week, which are never fun. But those don't matter much ( Read more... )

Writerly indigestion is still strong. It's leading me to despise winter (and hope for spring) more and more each day.

When a friend first showed me this, I was a little too mesmerized by the video to focus on the song, but now that I have it on repeat on iTunes, the lyrics have slipped slyly into my mind, and I can't help but love the concept.

Holy crow--a new year already? It came so quickly, but maybe that's just because I was out of town for New Years' and this break is turning out to be nothing like a break. Exasperation prevails...

Anyways, 2010 feels like an awesome number--just...absolutely awesome, and I can tell it's going to be a great year. Because I can. And I have goals.

Ah, ( Read more... )
