Tinkering
photo by Sergey Zolkin Instead of working on the sequel to Headless today, I got bogged down in the wisdom that I should be posting on my blog at least once a week. According to Hugh Howey, it should be every day! Add to that the fact that I have somehow ended up with two…

That Sinking Feeling
photo by Jim Digritz The downstairs neighbor woke me up with a text. Is your sink clogged? Not that I’m aware of, I reply. Kitchen sink? Yup. So I check. I drag out of bed and run it for a couple of minutes. Seems fine, I text back. I wait, hoping in vain, knowing what’s…

Akio’s Journal ~ April 4th
Akio Tsukino at his journal. Everyone thinks I’m stupid. Maybe I am. I try to cover it up with wisecracks and goofing around. But that just makes it worse. Maybe if I was deadly serious all the time. Like Masami. Maybe if I could just focus on my work and tune everyone else out like…

Feedback
Artwork by RobbyCobalt As someone who sang and played guitar in a few different rock bands, feedback often makes me think of that shrill squeal that rips through the PA when you point the microphone at the speakers, or when your guitar amplifier has started picking up alien radio signals. Sometimes there’s just no explaining…

A Knife to the Muse’s Throat (My NaNo Win)
I did it. I am an official NaNoWriMo winner. I brought in over 50k words in 29 days. I put a knife to the Muse’s throat and filled my pen from her opened jugular. On the thirtieth day, I rested. At the end of week three, I was falling behind. In lieu of my…

Words Lost and Words Found (NaNoWriMo Update — Week Two)
Photo by ariadna I have been writing every day—not that this is terribly unusual of late—but this time with the pressure of not getting my word count in for NaNoWriMo on top of it. It’s a silly, self-imposed trial of words, but I think there’s some great value to it. Just having committed to doing it…

To Recharge or Not to Recharge (NaNoWriMo Update – Week One)
Photo by Jordan McQueen I’ve been writing every day for a solid week on the sequel to my recently finished novel (as yet to be published, or officially announced) as part of NaNoWriMo. That’s National Novel Writing Month, if you’re not familiar. It’s been a lot of fun, but I’m also putting in a lot…

A Writing Machine
I’ve been MIA for a while, once again. This time, I went on my honeymoon, which was amazing. It was nearly a month long and an absolutely fantastic time. We went to the British Isles. And bonus points for you, if you know the difference between that and Great Britain and the U.K. To make…

Progress Update 002 — Jumping Heads
So, yeah… I’m late this week. But I don’t suppose anyone is chomping at the bit to read my posts promptly on Tuesdays. If you are, I’m sorry. Things get derailed sometimes. Life takes its own course. But here we are. First off, I removed the “Progress Update” part of the title of last week’s…

Artwork and Apathy
Now mobile friendly! I’ve been working on improving my blog, trying to come up with ways to make it more interesting and more functional. I’ve changed the theme for now to make it easier to read, and also because this theme has a mobile version. The last one did not. So, when anyone clicked on…
