Today I was reminded why I came to the East Coast. Sure, I may have written 3 chapters in the last 24 hours and be capping the officially most productive writing period of my entire life (the amount written here…

Figgy!
Didn’t write a D&C today because the focus was on catching up on chapter 51, left unwritten yesterday because I was hanging out online with the Meppers all night. But it’s done and now I’m very excited that the number…
Butterfly Wings
It’s been a strange day. Last night proved to be a thoroughly redemptive exercise in basketball, as my streaky shooting caught fire and I played the way I always want to play, ever the more grateful for the opportunity to…

Does Not Compute (or How I Learned to Start Worrying and Love Task Manager)
I have just leveled up in computer knowledge. Drawbacks include the fact that I wasted most of my night doing this, that the knowledge gained was largely unnecessary, and that my writing session may or may not be shot as…
State Quiz New Image Relaunch!
After working on it on and off for a few weeks, I’m proud to announce the full-scale relaunch of the State Quiz, replete with new images and merchandise. I guess it’s not technically a relaunch if the quiz was never…
