Thank you, Brother Card.

This is the companion writing-blog to Recipe for Happy, my personal blog.

The other day, I got to see Orson Scott Card at an English Pre-Professional Conference. A girl in the audience asked him about writing and getting published, to which he replied, "How many novels have you written?"

"Um, well, none that I've finished."

"Well then you aren't really serious about it anyway."

The thing is... I haven't finished a novel either. And yet I really do want to be a serious writer! Fortunately, he continued.

"Write a page a day and you'll have a novel in a year. Then worry about it."

So I'm trying to take that to heart. It's been going pretty well, but then none of my roommates are home so it'll be interesting to see what happens when they get back.

In the meantime, yes, my writing is part of my life, and personal to me at that. But if I'm going to write a page a day, I have to have somewhere to PUT it. Hence, this blog.
