Progress
I'm doing revisions on Lizardfic right now. Back in November, I posted that I thought the universe in this story was underdeveloped. Well, I'm starting to really feel like that's no longer the case. I'm starting to feel like there could be a theme anthology in the...
Website Tweak
I updated the Bibliography page to make it shinier. Now with scripts and excerpts/loglines! Of course, making it display all purty and still validate over at W3.org was exciting. I'm still not sure I like the italics, but I want to offset the excerpts from the regular...
*yawn*
I'm so tired I keep opening the word document with my story in it, staring at it, and closing it again. I think maybe I should just go with it and go to bed early. After all, I was sick last week, and maybe Daylight Savings Time wasn't the best time to give up...
Script update
I'm now working completely out of sequence on "Double Feature." I wrote in the major beats of the end, because they were clear in my mind. I also tweaked the beginning to lay the foundation for the climax. I think the beginning is pretty much done, by the way. Next, I...

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? To stop hate, do we need to restrict our freedoms? This book makes readers ask and answer tough questions not only about the characters and plotline, but about their own beliefs, understandings, and dreams.
