Serenity… refocus – seek joy – thrive

Um… yes, again. I think, probably, that I will start a few more times as well. The way I figure it, this is my first time writing a book, so this is my practice time. Especially when you consider that I’ve not been in any creative writing classes, so have not had the benefit of [...]

Both in terms of the site being up (in case anyone but me noticed it was down for a couple of days), and in terms of being here instead of elsewhere. I have, as I mentioned before, been Tumbling along. I like it and I don’t like it, and I have thoughts as to why. [...]

It’s terrible, I know, that we have all this software for PCs, but the one we didn’t have – Scrivener – was the one I really wanted and couldn’t get. Until now. Yay! It’s still in beta so it’s free for now, as long as you are willing to put up with a few bugs… [...]

Red. That is the short answer I give whenever someone asks that question. But if you look through my home or my wardrobe there is hardly anything red to see. Oh, maybe a splash here, and you can catch a glimpse there, but nothing to indicate that, of all the colors, red is the one [...]

I am terrible at blog rolls, but better at making lists of stuff I think is interesting, or important, or useful, so that’s what I’m using my Pages for, mostly. I’m also trying to build up a resource type thing as well as introduce myself (and everyone else) to new sites, so my plan is [...]

I woke up early this morning to write. Or, rather, I woke up early this morning – 3 am – and decided not to go back to sleep, but to write instead. I’m not sure that worked out too well, because I have little to show for it but a pile of disconnected thoughts and [...]

I mentioned some time back that I was going to open up my “book writing and research” site but I don’t think I ever gave the address. Anyway it’s called The Book of Louis and while it’s still a bit scattered, it is open. I’ll pull it all together soon.

For some reason it feels incomplete – and almost rude – to make major (to me) decisions armed only with a Blackberry. Or, rather, to attempt to express the substance of them with an itty bitty keyboard and a 1 1/2 inch screen. Even so, I believe I have come to a point where one [...]
