It's the end of the world as we know it...

It's 5:00 a.m. I have six pages of a reasearch paper that has to be 12-15 pages long written. This paper is due at 9:00. I don't think I'm going to be sleeping tonight. Have I mentioned how much I detest Mondays? If I havn't, I dispise Mondays because I never seem to be forced to go without sleep on any other day of the week. There are other reasons too, to be ranted about as they occure(sp?).

I'm finnaly getting the inspiration to finish Die Complex, now I just have to finish typing Out of Exile so my co-writers don't kill me first. I have to force myself to get that done, so I can force myself to finish DC. I'm already starting to gather notes and insperation for my next three projects, I wonder how many things I could balance concurently.

On the other hand, none of that matters if I don't get this paper done.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update: I got no sleep, but I finished this paper. I have my grade back, got a B on it, too. I also managed to get all my other papers done and in as well these past few weeks. Go me! Now all that remains is to finished OoE.

Ending Radio Silence

First, take a moment to say a prayer for Pope John Paul II. The world lost a good man today.




On a more personal note (and one related to my writing which is ultimatly, why I started this blog):
Knock on wood, as of about five minutes ago I am done writing all my parts of Out of Exile. Now all that remains is the typing. Genesis, I'll get it to you soon, do you read me? Soon.

Die Complex is still plodding along. I got my application for the open call at Wizards of the Coast in (I payed something like 15 bucks to have that thing overnighted, the Post Office had better have gotten it in on time), now I have to finish the darn thing. Aihan and Sashinka are fighting my efforts to finish the story every word of the way. On the other hand, my roomate edited the first three chapters for me, and about a week later we were watching a movie and she said something along the lines of "I could see Sashinka doing that to Aihan." and I agreed. Whatever it was (curse my memory) would have been compleatly in character for me. I must be doing something right if someone other then me can get a grip on Sasha's characterization after such a limited exposure.

Speaking of Sasha's...
This is a plug for a shameless plug for a website run by a couple of friends of both Genesis and mine. [Something is wrong with the syntax in that last sentince. How do I fix it?] Refracted Light is a site devoted to sci-fi and fantasy book reviews, from a Christian perspective. I agree with their analysisesessss opinions for the most part, and their friends, so if anyone is reading this, you should also go give their site a look-see.

That's it for now.
