Hey, all.

It's been a good deal of time since I updated this blog. Enough about that.

I've applied to Western Michigan University's Masters program for a degree in Creative Writing. It starts in the fall. I don't know if I'm in yet; in the mean time I'm taking a pair of courses on the WMU main campus, which is about two trips and $25 of gas away per week.

Grad-level english classes are challenging my mind in new ways, but they're pretty interesting and I'm enjoying the exposure to a lot of new ideas. I'm pursuing this mostly because I'm hoping A) to become a better writer and B) to finish out my book's revisions as soon as I can...

On the book, I'm working on doing a full re-write, revising as I go, the same way I did to the books I wrote in high school. It takes a long time sometimes; sometimes I'm working a paragraph at a time, a paragraph a day. It's been difficult to work consistantly. Mostly because it's winter...

Yes, the seasonal depression continues to lurk. I don't want to blame any lack of diligence exclusively on that, but I know it makes it harder to get motivated, harder to not just "coast." I want to create things. I hate not having some kind of output.
