I’m going to try something new and post to this blog every day for a while. I’ve heard that blogs do best if they have daily content, and while I personally find it difficult to keep up with those blogs (unless, like The Passive Voice, they’re more like a subject-specific newspaper), I’m willing to give it a shot.… Continue reading Trying something new

Quick update on writing and the blog
I was really bad about updating this blog last month. My goal was to post something new every Monday and Thursday, but that fell through and I’m not sure why. It’s not like life got super complicated or anything, more like blogging was just the ball that got dropped last month. No excuses, just getting… Continue reading Quick update on writing and the blog
New blog design
So perhaps this wasn’t the best thing to do at 2:00 am this morning, but I downloaded the new Twenty Sixteen WordPress template and tried it out. As you can probably tell, I liked what I saw. Specifically, I like this one because it’s a lot less busy, which probably translates well to mobile devices and… Continue reading New blog design
What do you guys want me to blog about?
I’ve been around the blogosphere (is that still a word?) long enough to know that when a blogger says “wow, it’s been a long time since my last post,” or “I’m going to start posting more often!” it’s often a sign that the blog is about to fade. Plenty of my secondary blogs have met… Continue reading What do you guys want me to blog about?
Blogging vs. journal writing
So as you may have noticed, I generally blog a lot less nowadays than I did just a couple of years ago. That doesn’t mean I don’t blog at all, or that I don’t value keeping a blog, but it’s just not something I do as frequently as I used to. I’ve been wondering why… Continue reading Blogging vs. journal writing
Back from unannounced hiatus
Wow, it’s been forever since I last blogged. One of my real-life friends even asked me why I never post anything anymore. That’s when you know you’ve fallen off the face of the Earth. In truth, there’s not a whole lot to report. I’m plugging away on Heart of the Nebula, making good progress. My… Continue reading Back from unannounced hiatus
Short stories and switching to Fantasy
Sorry to drop off the face of the Earth for the past couple of weeks. My parents were in town, and between spending time with them, introducing my girlfriend, celebrating my sister’s birthday, and a whole bunch of other family-related things, my blogging has kind of fallen by the wayside. But don’t worry–I’m still writing!… Continue reading Short stories and switching to Fantasy
Idea for a new blog series
So a little background information: about a month ago, I tripped over my brand new laptop’s power cord and broke the DC port, making it impossible to recharge my battery. After sending it in to a local shop to get it worked on, I discovered that the motherboard itself was broken and that the computer… Continue reading Idea for a new blog series
1000 posts and counting
According to my WordPress dashboard, this is the 1,000th post on this blog. I was going to hold off and do something big and momentous for the occasion, but then I figured it would be better to do a quick footnote and get on with the regular program. Nine hundred ninety nine blog posts ago,… Continue reading 1000 posts and counting
Some awesome blogs you should follow
So a bunch of blogs I follow have been doing this blogfest called “Pay it Forward,” organzied by Alex J. Cavanaugh. The idea is to bring attention to some well deserving yet lesser known blogs, and that’s something I’m all for supporting. The rules are simple: list, describe and link to three blogs that you… Continue reading Some awesome blogs you should follow
