The Return of the Writer

Wow. It's 2015. November 2015 for that matter, almost the beginning of December besides. So much has happened, and there's so much on which to comment.
I think I shall begin by explaining my absence. In Februrary 2014, I left school to serve a mission for the Chruch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My purpose was to teach people about the gospel of Jesus Christ, but God's purpose was to humble me, to nurture confidence in me, and to help me meet people and gain experiences that would have been neglected otherwise. There is so much that I gained from serving a mission, many of which applies to writing or "the right" or my knowledge of the world (which influences my writing). I may refer to some of my experiences in future posts. As I do so, I will tag the articles with tag "Interregnum," meaning "any pause or interruption in continuity" so as to fill that gap and spur continuity. 
I returned from my voyage in Arizona In August of 2015, having conquered much. But it didn't take long for me to start school again. My mom helped me to arrange my classes for this semester and it is amazing how they all fit together. I'm learning so much! There is much I want to ponder and study. Expect a post/explanation about each of these in the future, maybe even several.  The list includes
•Visible writers and visible God 
•How Frankenstein and Wicked are similar.
•Revisiting French grammar with an increased knowledge of English Grammar. 
•The wonder of my connecting classes. 
•The process and joy of writing a story. (And the pain of editing it to make it better).
•A general comment about how I like to play board games and be with family. (Referencing Thanksgiving.)
•Journal writing and scripture study and ponderizing. 
•What I learned about people from companions (and the fun times we had) 
I think that is a good enough list for now. I will follow up with you. In the meanwhile, Happy Thanksgiving! Merry Christmas, and TTFN, ta ta for now.
