Continue reading →: Old Novellas Progress
I’ve been working for several years to move things I’ve drafted and not gotten back to into higher drafts. In 2024, I’d finally gotten through most of the flash (anything not in final draft has been written since January 2025), shorts (anything not in at least third draft has been…

Continue reading →: Writing Report for Q3 2026
This will be a little longer than the usual writing report as I’m going to cover three months all at once. You’ll note I haven’t been blogging a lot lately, and while previous posts might lead one to believe it’s because I’m hard at work on my thesis, the truth…

Continue reading →: Fourteen Days Ago, My Father Died
Yes, that’s two weeks, and I’ve waited this long to say anything about it here. Oh, if you have me on social media, I posted the obituary, but I’ve mostly been staying offline. And it was that long before I noted here that my mother had passed away, although that…

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…

Continue reading →: Three Short Months
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…

Continue reading →: Prog Rock vs Sitcoms
If I had to pick a single subgenre of rock music to base my entire collection on, I would be very sad to lose the breadth and eclectic variety I’ve gathered into an extensive playlist spanning nine decades across multiple subgenres of rock and beyond. I would nonetheless not hesitate…
