  • 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…

  • Of Journals and Juggling

    I’ve found myself recently writing considerable amounts in my diary.  I’ve had many a thought, that I felt compelled to write down.  But such thoughts were fairly private in nature, so I will discuss or hint about them here.  One of thought that I would like to share, is my temporary withdrawl from daily blogging. …

  • 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…

  • Morning Light

    Golden rays of sunlight pour into the office.  The yellowish light illuminates the grey, black and beige of the office in light patches.  The rest of the office remains in the dark.  Only the sound of the noisy ventilation system and the mechanical rebound of the laptop keys greet my ears.  I sit and type. …

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Tagged, Balanced and Categorized

    I think I just hit a new milestone in my organizational efforts.  I just finished tagging and categorizing the last of my blog posts.  A long effort but finally done.  I almost want to take a moment to step back and admire my handiwork.  But unfortunately, today I’ll be heading off to party hosted by…
