Ash Wednesday
Today is Ash Wednesday. What a day it was. Started off with a dentist, ended up with me walking through slush in the driving wet snow. Not exactly the funnest of days. But I guess appropriate for the beginning of Lent. I’ve decided that this Lent, I will work on resolving a nagging deep personal…

Writer’s Block – Echoes in the Endless Returns & Totally Unknown Writers Festival
Last week I mentioned that I restarted writing of my novel. Well actually I’ve restarted the writing of TWO novels. Yes, I’m writing TWO novels in tandem. And while it sounds like a bad idea, this can work since I can switch between the novels depending on the mood I’m in. If I’m in the…

Before I Lay Down My Pen and My Head
Things are going fairly smoothly for the trip. Not yet at the point at where I can say I’m packed and ready. And there remains a good chunk of work to do. However plans are proceeding forward. While I look forward to my trip, lately I’ve felt like my self-esteem has taken quite a beating.…

Writing Progress Update for Monday
Last week I realized the reason why I kept on losing my writing work. I’m a big fan of running libre software on my desktop. While I can’t do so comfortably at work, but at home I run Linux desktop exclusively. (Except to play the occasional Windows-only video game.) So I use OpenOffice for my…

I’ve found myself recently writing considerable amounts in my diary. I’ve had many a thought, that I felt compelled to write down.

We Are Away
And so it begins. Yesterday I finished writing the notes for my novel, A Collection of Shards. I mapped out the basic plot, main characters and setting in those notes. I am impressed with how the idea for the novel is coming together. The novel will have a tight plot with lots of action. I…

Crazy Busy
I’m going to have to keep these next upcoming posts short. I am a bit overwhelmed at the moment, with the sheer amount of things going on at the same time. I still want to try to keep going forward on the projects already in progress. But I will not add anything new to my…

Kicking Tires
This week, I’ve started working on my delayed projects again. I feel exhausted from the week. But I also can not wait to play around with my projects. Learning Qt I’ve always admired the KDE and Qt developers. They make some of the most innovative and interesting technology in the consumer-desktop-mobile land. I’ve decided to…

I’ll Be Right On It
It is a bit early in the morning to come up with material to write about. And I did not get much sleep this night. Today I probably wouldn’t be able to stop yawning. And insane amounts of coffee will only keep me from trying to take a nap on the new office’s couch. All…

Best Laid Plans
My best laid plans always seem to flow so well together. But give things a bit of time, and then complications arise. And with complications come delays and reschedules. I planned on being further along with my writing today. Also I planned on having already dealt with a number of tasks. Finally, I planned on…
