Normally I’d spend today and the next two at Life, the Universe, and Everything – a writing conference. But they moved the location to Utah Valley University this year (after 30 years at BYU? seriously?) and I’m unable to get there realistically. So in honor of writing, I’m […]

Let’s be honest here…now that I’ve set a deadline for a “publishable” draft of my debut novel, I’ve crashed and burned. The first chapter of my book is in great condition it’s true, but the second chapter has me at a loss. I just don’t like how that writing is […]
I whine, cheese, and cracker
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 […]

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 […]

Halloween Nights Pt. 2 – Ghosts of the Cave
(Click the picture to read The Legend of Sleepy Hollow*) This is the beginning of a three-part short story Halloween collection. What this post contains is the premise behind the stories, or in other words, this is the story in which lie three stories. ____________________________________________________ Pumpkins lined the pathway up to […]
Halloween Nights Pt. 1 – An Introduction
(Click the picture to learn more about Halloween from Wikipedia) A week or two ago we got a bunch of snow in the mountains. I thought we might have bypassed Autumn altogether, so I was glad when the snow all melted. As you can see from this picture I took today, plants […]
