Stress

So I figured out today that in order to finish all my papers by the end of the semester without binge writing right at the last minute, I need to write 2 pages a day for the next 7 weeks. That pretty much sucks. Add to that the fact that the current book I’m workshopping needs some major help, and I’m feeling rather blue. There’s just so much going on right now. If I can get through the next 7 weeks, things ought to get a lot better. I know I should just look on the bright side: I’ve still

Grumpy Old Vampires

So today I was reading a writing group submission by raisinfish , and it got my brain working in an interesting direction.  I’ve been looking for ideas on how to make my website unique, and one idea I’ve been toying with is to have a webseries, sort of like webcomics, except written, not drawn.  Ultimately, I’d update them weekly, and people could tune in once a week to see what comes next.  The idea has some merit–even if it’ll take a lot of work to make it fly.  But I was missing a good idea–one that would work on a

The First Crusade for Dummies

Gasp!  I just realized that I didn’t post anything yesterday.  I fail as a blogger.  Oh well–give me a second to get over it. All better now.  It’s not like all that much happened yesterday, anyway.  I mean, I watched Rush Hour 2 in the evening–how exciting of a day could it have been? I just posted another paper I wrote back in college, this one about the military tactics used by the First Crusaders to capture Jerusalem.  If you’re looking for something basic (it was written by Freshman-Me, after all), and are interested in military history, by all means,
