The Cast of my Latest Short Story

Sunday, May 27th, 2012

“The X of Doom” is the short story that I’m currently working on. I started it in January with the intention of finishing the first draft that month; it’s now the end of May, and I estimate that the first draft is about halfway done. Characters have been put into place, backstories have been told, [...]

Angst

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012

Okay, I don’t feel quite the level of angst that the subject of Edvard Munch’s painting seems to, but I still feel some, especially when it comes to my writing. Of course, every writer experiences angst of some sort when it comes to their craft. Is my writing good enough? Will the editors like this [...]

Two new stories up

Friday, May 18th, 2012

Webzines come and go, and stories published in them can be victims of domain expirations, site collapses, and so on. I’ve rescued two of my old published stories, and I am putting them online for your enjoyment. The first is “The Unrevealed Tort, Revealed“. This story appears to be about two men, one of whom [...]

Nothing else came to mind

Thursday, May 17th, 2012

When I was trying to compose the greatest blog post in the history of the world, nothing came to mind. So I present Tenacious D and “Tribute”, which has been my earworm all morning. Enjoy. In other news I had no idea until a couple of weeks ago that Jack Black was involved with Tenacious [...]

Pondering an editing project…

Wednesday, May 16th, 2012

I’ve been a fan of Tom Waits and his music since 1990 or so, when my friend Mike introduced me to Waits’s 1985 album Rain Dogs. I admire his range and I find his subject matter enthralling. While Jennifer says my Tom Waits CDs can “live in your car” (apparently she’s not a fan), I listen [...]

Excitement

Saturday, May 12th, 2012

So, our account at our webhost provider was hacked. That was exciting. There was a vulnerability in the version of PHP that the site runs, which allowed a hacker to insert malicious code into certain files; the result of this was that whenever someone visited our site, they ended up downloading malicious code which could [...]

So, this happened…

Thursday, May 10th, 2012

So, over the weekend we went to the animal shelter in Sacramento, and adopted this fuzzbutt: Of course we dithered over names for awhile. He’s part Russian Blue, we think, so we tossed around variations of Russian names like Boris and Ivan, then more colorful names like Blueberry. But now I think we’ve settled on [...]

The people have spoken

Wednesday, May 9th, 2012

Yesterday I posted to here, to LiveJournal, to Facebook, Google Plus, and to Twitter the question, “What should I write next?”, and I offered three choices: Code Monkey! Wherein a computer programmer embarks on strange and exciting adventures when he finally gets up the nerve to ask the pretty receptionist out on a date; Padma Wherein a [...]

Dilemma

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012

I find myself stuck between writing projects. I’m progressing just fine on my short story “The X of Doom” — it’s got pirates in it! — but I’m having a hard time deciding what my next novel project should be. Here are my options, and I’m leaving it up to you, my faithful readers, to [...]
