Continue reading →: Memories(Note: I stupidly left two posts as drafts rather than hitting the ‘schedule’ button, but I’m going to leave the original dates intended.) The August theme for 2025 is Memories. Earlier this decade, probably not long after I turned fifty, I went through a period where every time I remembered…

Another quick writing summary for the month that just ended. I wound up taking a week or so off from anything that wasn’t handwritten and the last…

Humidity builds: Pending electric violence Never comes to pass Could have been some part of any summer for the last couple of decades, really, but a lot of this week has felt that way to me. And yes, it’s been quiet here for a couple of weeks. It should be…

Continue reading →: June Writing Summary
An even shorter summary than I wrote for May, but then the word count is substantially smaller due to various external events (academic conference, family stuff, convocation, and so on), but I want to get back to the updates as a regular thing 9,769 words with a mere 580 of…

Continue reading →: ConvocationAt last. This is backdated to the actual day of, along with a couple of others I forgot to schedule in the run up to convocation and stuff going on ahead of it. And it’s still going to be a short post. You can read a limited amount about my…
