Moving To Firefox

I’m now a member of the legions of Firefox users. Yep, you heard that right. I finally broke down and changed browsers.
The event, or series of the same event, that caused this sudden change has to do with Internet Explorer 7. First off, I would like to say that I was [...]

A Harsh Realization & 2 More Weeks

I have finally come to the harsh realization that I will not be able to finish my novel in the next 2 days for NaNoWriMo. I simply have not got the time to finish off the next 25,000 words or so. I mean, it took me this long to make it halfway [...]

Thanksgiving Week Wrap-Up

There’s so much to say, I don’t even know where to get started. First off, I haven’t abandoned you avid readers. I have been away for a while, which you would know if you do actually read the posts on the site. I did write a couple of posts in my notepad [...]

Ethnography, The Gatekeepers, & Creek Hill

Another day gone by. Another late night. It’s definitely time for me to go to bed. I worked on my ethnography project for a couple of hours tonight, and I was completely ticked off by something I had forgotten to do. I had saved my work on the Peavy family online [...]

Chapter 5: Going Back

You know what? I’m up to 12,753 words in my novel! Okay, not that exciting, but I’m getting there. Tonight I will be posting up Chapter 5: Going Back, for you to read. Keep in mind, as always, the grammar and sentence structure may be a bit shaky, and [...]

Another Useless Post On A Useless Site

And Bla Bla Bla. My mind has been completely drained. Maybe I just need a week of good, solid rest.
I’ve almost made the site completely XHTML. That’s right. And I’ve cleaned out some of the PHP involved with integrating the Wordpress into my site. I think the code [...]

Chapter 4: The Last Night Of Their Lives

That’s right! Brand new chapter awaiting. I made it somewhere around 3,000 words. I know, I know, the chapters are kind of short at the moment. But this one had to be. It is a flashback to a high school party and…Well, I don’t want to give it all away. [...]

Independent, Free, & Wild

What a night! Let me tell you! I have been writing on my novel for the most part of it. I rewrote Chapter one into a first-person point of view. I completely erased half of Chapter 2 and finished it up. Then, I capped off a good 2,500 words on [...]

Coffee Or No Coffee, I Will Write Like A Madman

Where has the time gone? I have spent 6 hours of my night reading away at Ian McEwan’s Atonement and Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot. And, I still haven’t finished the reading assigment for either one of them. Forty more pages in McEwan’s novel and 60 in King’s. I don’t [...]

Greg Campbell

You know what? I forgot to blog last night. I remembered putting together a draft, but I forgot to post it. So just read the next chapter in my novel. I think it’s a pretty good chapter. I’m starting to get some ideas now about where to go with the [...]
