The last couple of weeks have been eaten up with work and worry over a job I was applying for. The dust seems to have settled on that matter, so it’s back to regular life-stuff.
Which mostly hasn’t been about writing.
I finally got my hands on a copy of The Idiot’s Guide to [...]

More Books, More Worries

To “e” or not to “e”?
Time for a book entry, since my writing has gone to shit and back!
Finished reading Sarah Monette’s Melusine on my iPhone in Stanza, but purchased in eReader and moved over.
The book itself? Quite good. Strong 1st person narratives from two, one could say even three, perspectives, and rich world building built [...]

Following The Obsession
I am forgoing writing tonight, the night before the next Hypergraphic meeting. Delany’s About Writing compels me. It must be finished. Afterwards, I will raise my head up and wonder at the passage of time, curious but not distressed, because I know I have spent the time well.
That was weird and cryptic [...]
