I'm back! ... at least for a short time

It has been too long since I have posted on this blog. Since the last post I have gone through two incredibly-packed years of Bible college and have two more to go, unless I add on a fifth year. And this summer my dad became the pastor of a church in Montana, so we made the big move at the end of June and have been loving it here so far.

My story is still in the making; ideas continue to flow, but very little has made it onto paper. For my short story in the college creative writing class, I used the first book plan in my series but had to majorly condense it and ended up changing some things in order to make it "end." I hope to work on that first book (with the initial plot line) as much in the next couple weeks as possible, before school starts again.

I will also try to update you all in the web-world as much as possible. This blog may be imported to Weebly (still thinking about it...), but I will give you a heads-up here before I do so. Stay in touch so you don't miss it!

My resolutionary post of the New Year ... and an introduction to an incredible writer

To start off, I might as well wish everyone a Happy New Year and all the other things that go along with it . . . like resolutions which you know will never work, but for some reason you still make them. For example, you may wish to exercise faithfully (the typical resolution, one which I really need), or you may wish to become a couch tomato and spend more time watching TV, eating chips and drinking soda. Anyway . . . I haven't created an extensive list of unattemptable resolutions, just kind of basic things I should be getting done, such as having my quiet time with God every day and getting my college application sent in and finishing a decent portion of my novel.

Now I want to introduce a writer whom I discovered in the now-vanished year of 2008. Jeff Gerke is the creator of WhereTheMapEnds.com and Marcher Lord Press, both of which are devoted to the rise of Christian speculative fiction. MLP launched on October 1, 2008, with three fantastic books and will be releasing three more in the near future--I totally can't wait. Jeff is also a book doctor, and, on a totally unrelevant note of interest, his family is planning to adopt a baby girl from China (follow the journey here as they "bring Sophie home").
