Continue reading →: Never Take Writing Advice From Non-Writers
And before anyone gets concerned that I’m advocating against Beta Readers (which I don’t personally use but if you do, that’s entirely fine), I’ll state outright that they’re not giving writing advice. At least, they shouldn’t be. Beta Readers give feedback on how well what you’ve written did or did…

I’ve enjoyed their work in everything I’ve seen them in. There are a surprising number of actors whose work I enjoy enough that I can say this about. I don’t always like the movies I end up watching although typically they have some redeeming qualities even if it’s just something…

Continue reading →: A Non-Computerized Writing Process?
I’m old enough that I remember what life was like before there was an “internet as we know it” or a public internet at all. I’m actually old enough to remember what life was like before there was a home computer in virtually every home. The careers I’ve had would…

So the plan is for me to defend my MSc thesis in early December. This being the first day of classes means that defense is about three months away. And that probably means I’m no more than two and a half months from having completed the last round of edits…

So it’s been quiet for a couple of weeks. That should mean I have a backlog of stuff, but it doesn’t. There are a couple of posts I wrote but didn’t manage to put up in late July, so those will come in the next few days after this and…

Continue reading →: Remembering Mom
Today should have been my mother’s 79th birthday. She was always good at keeping secrets when it came to her personal health and major family issues. This was a family tradition, I think, and was done under the guise of not wanting her children to worry. I can think of…

BBC 2020 (just barely with the first episode airing on 31 December), one series with eight episodes. Being up front with an overall opinion, I’m three episodes in and enjoying it so far. But I think I’m enjoying it in spite of being a Terry Pratchett fan rather than because…
