Showing Its Origins
I'm running the NaNovel through critique group right now, and even though I made several passes through it and tried to flesh it out, it's still kind of rushed. It used to feel very much like... if you've ever heard Jaws, the screenreading software for the visually...

Man, ScriptFrenzy was a bust. Final wordcount: 3407. Behold my shame. Then again, I haven't had two days off in a row in over a month, so... yeah. I hereby rename the project "ScriptSloth," and I'll keep working on it. Other projects include the NaNovel rewrite--it's...
Alas, poor Script Frenzy!
I don't think there's any way I'm going to be able to do Script Frenzy. I'm just going to be putting in too much overtime this month. I'll keep working on the script, but I'm officially giving myself permission to not finish.

Immortal Gifts invites readers to re-evaluate the meanings of things such as life, death, freedom, hate and love from the first page. Katherine Villyard manages to capture some of the most poignant questions we ask ourselves as we go through our individual lives. Is it worth being able to live forever if, in the end, we’ll lose the ones we love to mortality? Is Death really the ultimate enemy to life, or is death just life’s misunderstood old friend?
