I think I just finished my novel today
Well, first draft only, but still, to do this in less than three months (while having a fulltime job, a family and a life), is just astounding. It pleases me immensely. Of course, now the task of revising and rewriting…
Hitting a magic milestone
Just clocking up a late one (as usual) and I’m about to hit a pretty magic milestone… In November, I started the National Novel Writing Month thing… then I proceeded to only get 25,000 words done in that month, so … Continue reading
On not failing NanoWriMo
I see that the month of November is over, and that I have not reached 50000 words for NanoWriMo. And I don’t care. I only reached 26000 words in fact, but that is still more words in one month than … Continue reading

We have the tools, now let’s see the talent
To do a little paraphrasing from Ghostbusters up there, I’ve finally got the gear. Managed to work out the financial details (from bond money and the like) to go and get myself an eeePC today. EeePC 1000H, with a lot … Continue reading
