Port City Update
Hmm… I debated about writing while on “vacation”. But since I’ve done so much writing today, I felt it might be appropriate to update my blog. I’m staying with family, in my city of birth. I’m here on brieviment, so not exactly a fun time. After the funeral, I might see some friends of the…

Going on Hiatus
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have to hang up my blogging hat for a bit. I have to do some travelling and handle the fallout from a tragic event. So for the time being, until things settle down I’ll not be updating this blog on a regular basis. Thanks for your patience and…

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…

Now it clear has become my personal blog. Whether this is a good thing or not, I leave as an exercise to the reader. So without further ado… If I only…

Just Another Sunny Day
I look outside from my 6th floor office window. Out there I can see a sunny blue sky, blocky office buildings and grey-white jetliners landing at the nearby airport. I can almost feel the warmth outside. I remember the warmth, that I felt while sitting with coworkers outside all of us enjoying a delicious, spicy…

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…

Enter the Grumbles
Marika likes to ramble. And I like to grumble. Not because I’m a negative or enjoy complaining. But I find a guilty pleasure of grumbling my annoyances. In fact I know I shouldn’t. But I feel like it nonetheless. Also I really am at a loss of what to write about… but grumbling… that comes…
