Helloooo...ooo....ooo....ooo....

Is there an echo in here?

For some reason I've made a subconscious decision to leave at least a month betwix postings on my lonely old blog here. It could be laziness. It could be an unhealthy interest in computer games recently. It could be suddenly-unemployed related depression. It could be because I'm getting very little actually writing done (when it rains, it pours--and when it's dry, it's a drought).

I was working on a short called "The Mercenary Cook" for a while. I intend on finishing that up and sending it to Writers of the Future. I'm also going to submit to BYU's writing contests again in a couple of months, but since I've won first, second, and third now in various catagories, I don't know exactly what I'm eligable to enter. We'll see.

My friend and mentor, Brandon Sanderson, hit #21 on the New York Times bestseller list. Congratulations to Brandon and his editor Moshe, and to Tor and, well, all fantasy writers out there. Viva la fantasy revolution.
