Dawn on an Alien World
Went to a fantastic party hosted by the Huddarts, Friday night. I enjoyed myself throughly. Meet new people, had a few too many drinks, and had a lot of fun. Some of the conversations ended up as discussions about my novel. I’m at an impasse with my novel. I have to decided the setting of…

Just Another Bug Hunt
Today feels like one of those days that I’ll really have to struggle. Struggle to not fall flat on my face. I guess not sleeping much has something to do with it. But part of me just doesn’t feel right. One of those days when I’m probably going to have to work really hard, to…

Hitting the Ground Running
Before I left for my leave, I left a bunch of thing half-done. I also had planned tasks too. But I never got around to doing them earlier. Life’s twists and turns surprise you and throw all your carefully laid plans to the wayside. Now I’m back, I can get back to them. Time to…

Forced March
Another quick update on the writing. I managed to write up the second thread/part of chapter one. I am not in the mood for writing today actually. But I’m going to force myself to keep writing. Once I have the entire book on paper I can agonize over it later. Content first, editing later. Anyways…

Update on Writing
Yesterday I wrote the first section of chapter 1 of my novel. I’m not sure about all the elements of the novel, especially the names and characters. I might not want to base my characters completely on real life friends. But I will work with what I have as a rough, rough first draft. I…

Recovery and 15 Minutes Writing Sprints
As I sat down to do some writing I couldn’t have expected it to happen. I had 15 minutes to kill, and so I thought that I would just fire up the current chapter I was working on. The rain ended my plans for a walk. But this I didn’t imagine. I didn’t imagine all…

Bruised and Sore
Uff! I’m bruised and tired from yesterday’s taekwondo session. The warmup consisted of a lot of running, jumping jacks, pushups, sit ups, and leg raisers. At the end I wanted to pass out from panting exhaustion on the floor. A great workout, followed by practice on kicking and hand motions. There is so much for…

Introducing “The Keeper of the Serenity”
After a good days of worship, work and yard work, I managed to snag a few minutes to sit down and type. Typing by itself should never be considered an enjoyable experience. However when typing involves sitting out on the deck with your laptop (running an illicit version of Kubuntu), that activity becomes fun. And…

A Case of Insomnia
I can’t sleep. After some initial attempts to fall back asleep, including pushups… I just gave up and started surfing the web. Updated my Facebook account and read all of my RSS feeds. Still can not sleep, too much on my mind. Why is trying to do the right thing so difficult? Why is trying…

The Morning Came Again
Another fine morning and another beautiful sunrise rising over Toronto. This may seems like a common theme, but I love the mornings. I love the mornings cause it matches my personality. I am a forward thinker. I enjoy peering into the future. Little wonder why I enjoy trying out beta software. Or why I follow…
