Dang, I wasn’t kidding

This is November 2nd’s blog entry, but I am writing this on the evening of the 6th. If you were to graph my blog post latency over time, you’d notice a troubling upward trend. Hopefully, in the long run of things, this ends up being a minor blip in the […]

Whirlwind week

Daily blog is going to be a little sparse in the coming days, as work + other things are taking more energy than usual. Projects and words are still bouncing around in my head, and I am still gonna deliver on those round up posts.

Halloween hustle!

Did my first public promotion by putting some links and pictures of Hunting Midnight up on the social media (Facebook and Instagram). The response was awesome! People are great and I’ve been basking in the glow of notifications all day. Now, the trick is to keep at it since I’m […]

Party hikes

Not a lot of (read: none) writing or writing related stuff on a day full of socializing for Halloween. The title is as it is because I ended up walking probably 5km in total due to subway outages on my way to and from a party. Cool story, me!

Halloween weekend looms

I’ve a friend in from out of town and a loose plan to wander the festivities. Then me ma is in town on Sunday, so I’ll have precious few moments to squirrel away and write. More concerning at the moment is my stalling fitness routine, but since this is a […]

Ads and reviews

777 words today, so far. this sickness is making me hazy and bad at counting exact numbers: I forget if I logged the scene I wrote… yesterday? UPDATE MAKE THAT 3,000 words! Tested another mini flight of ads today, and looked into how to find simple/easy book reviews. Bloggers and […]
