I haven't written in Livejournal since New Years' last year, and I'm not going to make any promises that this will change. But I do intend to maintain this tradition of the yearly review as much as possible, since it's been a sacred tradition so long.
For reference, the 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, and 2003 ones are linked... to last year's ( Read more... ) -
Resolutions
1) I will keep myself healthy, through exercise and a good diet (which doesn't merely consist of avoiding bad foods, but also in seeking out good ones.)
2) I will write more, in whatever capacity.
3) I will pay attention to the world of music again. -
Annual Year-End Review!
I won't really have time just before New Year's, given that I'll be leaving for India on New Year's Eve (!!) so I thought I'd get this in a few days early...
For reference, the 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, and 2003 ones are linked... it amuses me that in the first of these years, 2003, the first "new thing" I had done was eat Indian food. This ( Read more... ) -

India
This just in: I am going to India! On January 31st, Ben and I leave NY, and we arrive on New Years Day in Delhi! Then, 9 days of awesomeness will ensue. We're staying with BJ and Dana (BJ's a friend from Bates, Ben's best friend) in Delhi, as our base of operations, but meandering wherever seems awesomest.
So excited in so many ways! -
My novel progresses...
Although I began it over a year ago, I have finally spent some time this summer resuming my novel. I admit that I am one of those writers who still undergoes phases of inspiration and ennui, but I am easily addicted once I have found a point of inspiration. That's happened again the last few days. I am finally progressing. In fact, I have ( Read more... ) -
Hipsters
Ah, New York: you made me think of a poem I wrote criticizing hipsters (and, perhaps, the bit of myself that was hipster-tending at the time; I'm less so now). When walking in Williamsburg, perhaps, or waxing a bit too philosophical, myself, over German craft beers, it's good to remember a few of these lines.

Popular Mechanics (A short story)
Today in my writing group I drafted this short story. The assignment was to write something that includes the following five words, randomly chosen by pointing fingers into a thesaurus: Classify, See, Immigrate, Profligate, Accommodate. If you would like to read the unedited version of the first entire short story I've written in years, please ( Read more... )
