Still Here

Efforts to make this my "official" blog have not been especially successful. My blogging life remains pretty much at [info]labingi. Over there, I've been writing more about the progress of my original writing. Here's a tag to posts that focus on my science fiction universe:

The Continuation

In short, I'm plugging away on my screenplay for The Hour before Morning, slowly but surely. I'm up to Meravyn's big flashback, which is probably 40% of the way through in terms of the first draft.

In teaching news, I've just completed my first term in a few years as a university instructor. What a big contrast to community college! The students, in general, are much more prepared and more "traditional" students. I enjoy both settings, but they sure do have different needs.

And finally, here's a little review of Ueda Akinari's "The Chrysanthemum Vow" or "Reunion."

My Creative Writing--Continuation

I've decided to broaden the mission of this "official" blog. I started it mainly to focus on libraries when I was getting my MLIS and shifted it to include teaching and general academia. I'm going to shift it again to include more of my personal views and updates on my original creative writing and sci fi/fantasy organization, StarMerrow.

What I won't include here is, broadly speaking, my "fannish" interests, unless they cross over with academia/criticism. There will be some X-posting between this and my more fannish journal, so apologies to those who have friended both.

On that note, writing the Continuation universe, shipped from t'other journal:

I have resolved that life is too short to spend it writing things I don’t want to write. No more guilt about dropping projects/stories halfway. One of the things I do want to write at some point is Ghanior’s story. He’s been one of my favorites of my original characters forever, but I’ve never gotten down anything about him beyond real juvenalia (the short novel I wrote when I was about 20-22--it’s crap).

I’m not sure where to go with his story, though, so I’m going to ramble about it under the cut.
