Musings on Angst

It's been a while since I had anything to say about writing. In fact, its been a while since I wanted to write about anything other than how much I hate my life, which is quite irrational given that I'm having a great time.

But after the past couple of weeks of midterms, problem sets, papers and purposeless angst, I've realized what might help with the angst. I'm going to start writing again, not little short stories that I can't do a thing with. I'm going to start a new novel. Hopefully instead of thinking in circles about my angst, I will delve into a labyrinth in my head to create my characters angst.

It's going to be a space opera centered around a ship's doctor and the first contact Earth has with the rest of the intelligent universe. I hope to write about 5,000 words a week on it, and that they be air tight words. I will try to post updates on the blog here, and my series on style is on hold for a while (if anyone hadn't figured that out yet, and cared).
