I just spent the last few hours writing blog posts for my Comms 239 class blog so frankly I’m kind of tired of blog posting right now. But anyway, that’s a terrible way to begin a blog post, no matter how true it is. The fact of the matter is, National Novel […]
Yearly Archives: 2011
I figure it’d be good to let you the reader of my site know what’s going on. I’d wanted to post one last Halloween story yesterday (Jeffrey’s) but I wasn’t feeling well enough yesterday to write it (even though I knew what story I wanted to tell). So that didn’t happen. Oh […]

A Loose Halloween Story Pt. 2
The Halloween muse struck me yesterday. I realized at least five years have passed since I celebrated Halloween beyond purchasing candy for others. I’m craving Halloween this year, and I remembered that some of my earliest writing came from attempts to write Halloween stories. I stumbled upon one of my […]
A Loose Halloween Story
I wanted to highlight some of the main reasons for books I placed on my favorites list. You will see why by the end of this post. First we have the entire Harry Potter series. J. K. Rowling makes excellent use of description in her books, loading on elaborate details while […]
