October 7, 2018 At Loose Ends I am undecided how to proceed Monday morning during my standard writing time. Saturday I took MBW’s car in for brake servicing. Sitting, waiting, and drinking coffee I was able to finish outlining Warlord. That is good. Hearty pats on my own back. However, this leaves me with some… Continue reading At Loose Ends.

Milestone. Resurrected Post.
September 30, 2018 Milestone Last Wednesday I wrote “The End” on the first draft of “Captain.” Saturday I celebrated. There remains a way to go before I can consider the novel complete, but most of the heavy lifting is finished. Now I need to set it aside, turn my mind to something else before commencing… Continue reading Milestone. Resurrected Post.
Not Entering an Ass-Kicking Contest Any Time Soon. Resurrected Post.
September 23, 2018 Not Entering an Ass-Kicking Contest Any Time Soon I’m staring down fifty. As of this writing that day remains about six months away, slouching inexorably closer. I fight the inevitable as best I may, hitting the gym five days a week, maintaining a generally healthy diet. So I think it was more… Continue reading Not Entering an Ass-Kicking Contest Any Time Soon. Resurrected Post.
The State of the Web Log. Resurrected Post.
September 16, 2018 The State of the Web Log This is post number two hundred and nineteen. That’s over two years of posting, almost without fail every Sunday.

The Slog. Resurrected Post.
September 9, 2018 The Slog Writing is an incremental process. At least for novels; you can, theoretically, knock out a short story in a single session, though in practice that is rare. Creating a novel is a process. It is bricklaying, spreading the mortar and applying a layer of bricks every day. When you… Continue reading The Slog. Resurrected Post.
Investment. Resurrected Post.
September 2, 2018 Investment The days grow shorter, the mornings hold a touch of chill. But the summer retains a pleasant warmth, without the oppressive heat of July. And that means college football. The time has arrived for me to allow the actions of complete strangers to influence my happiness: for people I’ve never… Continue reading Investment. Resurrected Post.
Brew Day. Resurrected Post.
August 26, 2018 Brew Day Brew day! It has been a while. This is my first attempt at brewing entirely from mail order ingredients. I enjoy living out where I do, but to date I do not have access to a conveniently located home brewing supply store. I bought a new, larger brew kettle… Continue reading Brew Day. Resurrected Post.
Amateurish Tolkien Sleuthing. Resurrected Post.
August 19, 2018 Amateurish Tolkien Sleuthing MBW, the HA, and I drove out to the Columbia River Gorge yesterday and embarked on a paddlewheel sightseeing excursion upriver. The sky offered better visibility than it had most of the previous month: about this time every year everything west of the Rockies bursts into flame. Smoke obscures… Continue reading Amateurish Tolkien Sleuthing. Resurrected Post.
