For my three readers that stop by on a quasi-semi-regular basis, you’re probably stunned to see a new post here. It’s nice to be surprised every once in a while, isn’t it?
The thing is that writing has been on my mind lately, and I’ve been pondering and cobbling together bits of a story that will […]

I haven’t been getting close to my daily required word count to successfully complete Nanowrimo 2007, so I’m throwing in the towel.
Instead, I’m going to give learning to type another go.

Great googley moogley, I haven’t blogged anything is so long, I don’t know where to start back. So, like some old geezer who needs some one to bite into a candied apple to help get it started, I’m turning to you, the audience, to help me determine the subject for my next blog post. To […]

Until science develops a way for people to repeatedly kick themselves in the crotch while wearing steel-toed boots, we can make do with National Novel Writing Month. The idea of NaNoWriMo is that from November 1 to November 30, you write a novel that is at least 50,000-words long.
Of course, I signed up again this […]

This blog is the first account I set up for Ecto, a blogging client, which I just bought after months of putting it off. Anyway, if you haven’t tried Ecto, you can download a trial version, and see what you think.

One of the reasons I’m not posting as many entries as I used to is that, for whatever reason, I’ve become unsure about what to write. I keep swinging between two thoughts: One, this is my blog and I should be writing about wherever I feel like, and Two, I’m going to […]

I’m writing this on a piece of lofi technology called Neo made by Alphasmart. It’s just a simple word processor…and nothing else. It doesn’t have any games, or Internet capability, or even a great screen. That is, it’s missing everything that could distract me from getting down to the business of writing. I’ve only been […]

After a month and a half of taking pictures for the 365 Days Group on Flickr, I’m a little surprised that it’s already been a month and a half…and I’m still at it! So, based on my experience with my Flickr project, and a blog post I read recently (I’ll get to that in a […]

Jeez, looking back over the past several months, I realize that I’ve become consistently sporadic in my blog posting, managing to get in only 3 or 4 posts a month. That’s just plain lousy. I could go into some detail about all the excuses for this — self-censoring, burnout, fear of boring you with […]

National Novel Writing Month is next month, but registration is now open, so sign up if you feel inclined. If you’re not familiar with NaNoWriMo, the idea is that you write a 50,000-word (or longer) novel between November 1 and November 30.
I failed terribly at it last year. Actually, I guess I did a […]
