Dearth

Some (a hopeful number) may be wondering why I have not been updating this blog as frequently as I used to, especially now that I have graduated from college. Well, to be quite frank, my summer has been full of two things: working, and writing.

I got a job (not the most enjoyable nor the most profitable, but it gives a bit of money), and I have been writing a book.

Yes, a book. B-O-O-K. It's a thing with more words than your average blog post.

At this point, I've written ~35000 words, though I feel that I am not even halfway done. To be concise about the plot, in case you were wondering, it's a bit of science fiction that I have had on my mind for the past several years. I actually started out writing another story, but hit the writer's block wall so hard that I rebounded and headed in the opposite direction. Considering that I've been writing for a little more than a month, I feel quite impressed with myself, though the story might be a trite pile of crap.

I guess we'll see how it turns out in the end. Hopefully I'll finish it before I move to London.

Oh, and if I didn't mention it, I'm moving to London at the end of September. Woo. Wait, not excited enough.



There we go.

Anyway, if you were at all curious about what I have been doing (and I really don't know why you would be, I'm about as interesting as a snail race), that's it.

And no, you can't read it. Yet.

That's all for now,

Der Untergang

My posts will probably become shorter and shorter, most likely because college homework will cause my brain to collapse in on itself like the death of a red giant star.

Getting college books is a pain in the ass. I have to get one that isn't even in any of the college bookstores, and Amazon's "expedited delivery service" isn't very expedited; I've been waiting for 3 days already. The problem is that I need to read this book by Tuesday, which obviously won't happen. Looks like another instance of being screwed by this college.

Aside from that, I feel out of place right now. I know how the square peg feels when trying to fit in the spot reserved for the cylinder. It seems that I do not have the temperament to do serious schoolwork. Hopefully it'll pass.

And now, a word from Bruce Lee.



That's all for now.
