It was a weird decision on my part this year not to participate in NaNoWriMo. For the last five years, I’ve written a new novel every year, and I finally felt like I didn’t have the time this year. I did, however, find a wee bit of time to write a small short story. It’s not edited, so don’t expect anything spectacular here – but it keeps my little hobby going.

If you’re intrigued, give it a read by hitting the jump. It’s a bit stream of consciousness, and its pretty quick. I hope you find it interesting!

Well, this is finally the end of The Collapse. It’s been a crazy ride from beginning to end – even though I wrote only half as much as 2008′s The Typist, this was still a ridiculous challenge to finish when coupled with my intense engineering curriculum. I hope you enjoy reading the conclusion of The Collapse as much as I did writing it!

Whew, this day was a doozy! There’s a lot of the plot behind the plot unfolding now, and Vosler’s true intentions and plans are coming to light. Was Earth really a place for people without fetches to live in peace? And is it really going to take an entire year to get everyone in a fetch?

Not if Vosler has anything to say about it.
