JTVCcmNibG9jayUyMGlkJTNEJTIyMjU2OSUyMiU1RA==It has been quite a busy time these last six or seven months. Too busy, maybe? A lot of great experiences, but it has cut into my time to be at home writing. Let me give you a little update of what I’m doing writing-wise.

Japanese Elantris Another pun for which I should be shot, a poem by Brandon Sanderson — The other day I was talking to a friend. We were discussing deserts. He wanted to say that Utah was more like a desert California. Obvious, yet true. He tried calling it more deserty. Desertish. Desert-like. He, of course,…
