It has been a few weeks since I have managed to write anything. This is because I have been focused on finishing my thesis. When I last wrote about it was in February and that feels like 100 years ago. At that time I was finishing up my proposal. I was trying to get that [...]

Two days left in November and I am finished with NaNoWriMo! Well, not with my novel, but I won the contest. Between the journaling, the literature review for the thesis and the fiction I had a grand total of: 50603 words. What next? The literature review has been turned in for edits. While I wait [...]
Who cares about word count right now? Not me certainly… the thesis work won’t get me there nor will these journals so ‘meh’. I will count words when I turn it in. Until then my mind is all a buzz with fiction ideas. My dreams for the past few nights have been pretty vivid. My [...]
I am always amazed at how my brain works. The mere idea that I could write fiction has sent it into literature review overdrive. Now all I want to do is write non-fiction. So much so that my end of the month goal has been changed to the end of this week. Yes, I spent [...]
I was at work for less than 2 hours before a major distraction happened: they moved furniture into my new office. I had been doing well too! I had 14 more articles to read and I made it through one and started another. I had gotten copies of the remaining articles to make it so [...]
Today I spent more time socializing than writing. I should be done with section 1 by the end of tonight though. I am in no way going to have 50,000 words between the journal and the literature review. Fiction is pretty much looking like the way I spent the rest of my month. Anyway, today [...]
I spent the bulk of the day at the Toastmasters District 31 Fall Conference. It has been about a year since I went to one and the last time I went I was education co-chair. This time I was a presenter and I went armed with my three favorite social media tools. I am not [...]
It is 3pm and I am just sitting down to do my first bit of writing for the day. What did I do yesterday? NOTHING! I mean, yes, there was a journal entry, but that was all. I ended up not napping, which was good because it meant I slept well last night. This means [...]
It turns out I couldn’t sleep last night. I have no idea why. I was tired, my brain was inactive (until I gave up on sleep) and my bed was very comfortable. In the end I got maybe 2 hours before I had to be up to get ready to be work at 7:30am. Why? [...]
Here I am on day 2! Most of my morning was actually spent working on work for work. In other words, making sure the things I get paid to do are actually done. Yes, this thesis is technically part of it, but not in the same way. Day 1 word count: 2306. This is good, [...]
