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…

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…

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…

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…

Sleepless Update Part 2
Not sleeping slows your reactions considerably. But still I am ready for tomorrow’s work. Needless to say I will need large amounts of coffee to get through the day. Then again this isn’t something I haven’t done in the past. All that remains is a considerable amount of writing I need to finish before I…

Sleepless Night
I really ought to go to sleep now. My bosses will hate me for dragging myself into work zombie style. But I can’t help it. I plan on getting a few things done before I get up… or rather before I go to sleep. Or even more accurate before the time I want to get…

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…
