I've really lost my taste for blogging.  At least in the "This is what I'm doing" vein.  If you want to know what's going on in my life.  Check my facebook, or friggin' call me.

I'll still check in here every once and a while, but don't expect much posting unless I get on an essay topic.

At one o'clock on Thursday I had an interview at the University of Missouri at St. Louis (UMSL) library for a job in the Interlibrary Loan department.  I left around two, got home around two-thirty, and had to put my phone on the charger because it had died mid-conversation with DeLyle immediately following the interview.  Around four o'clock I ( Read more... )

Our car is broken...again.

It has a major coolant leak and is currently undrivable.  I'm going to have to have it towed to the shop.  Dad came up here earlier today and took a look at it.  He told me that it was probably the water pump or the heater core.  Either way this is probably another major expenditure to get it fixed.  The car is a 1994 ( Read more... )

I think I know what I want to write my next play on.  I want to write about Darwin, his theory, his theology, and the culture he lived in.  He actually was a deeply religious man whose theory inspired awe in the changeability of God's creation where the popular and institutional theology of the time said that history was stagnant.  That life and ( Read more... )

I got in about 1400 words today.  It seems I can't write for more than 90 or 120 minutes at a time, and two hours only when I'm completely unconscious to the outside world.  But it was good writing time.  I developed Sarah's character a bit more as she revealed a part of her past to me and Amos, and at the exact same time she was sewing more seeds ( Read more... )

Over the last two weeks I've not written very much, only about five hundred words on a day that I can't even name.  I did finish the first draft of the second chapter and minutely began the third.  I have good reason for this, DeLyle had been under the weather, we bought a new clothes dryer and had it hooked up, and the house-work had been so ( Read more... )

So, yesterday I said that I wanted to reach 7,000 word in today's writing session...

Well in reality I only managed to write

7386 words!

Beeyatch!

That's 1437 that I wrote today in less than two hours.  Smokin'!

Tee-hee.  I'm a good dooby.

Now, I must triumphantly do the dishes!

Wow!  I've not posted since April 3rd!  I'm a real LJ Bastard!

So, Since April 3rd I've gotten engaged to DeLyle.  Yay!  And I've started the project I was pining for in my last entry.  It's working title is The Trial of Amos Davidson and is a novel about a faith journey.  I wanted to write a story about someone's spiritual path that wasn't my own ( Read more... )

I need a project.  I am feeling a great need to write, but don't know in what form that need requires.  Is it a play?  An essay? Fiction?  I don't know.  I am actually part of a writing group, although I've been ignoring it lately.  The project I had been working on there no longer interests me and I've been in a commitment-reset mode where I am ( Read more... )

 Next week I have two more interviews, and I'm really excited about both ( Read more... )
