I’m going to indulge myself for the next while, blogging about music I’ve been involved in. I’ve got quite a few recordings on cassette I’ve made over the years, and I’ve wanted to make digital copies of them. There are stories attached to many of the songs that interest me, and will possibly interest others, […]
It took most of the day, but I’ve finally moved (completely) away from Blogger. I’m now using WordPress, just like my good buddy Shroom. I imported all my old posts from Blogger, but I don’t know of a way of importing all the comments. I manually did a couple, and will do more if anyone […]

The programmer of yWriter, Simon Haynes, is also a published novelist. His Hal Spacejock series appears to be doing well, at least within the genre. […]
I did well my first day of NaNoWriMo, hitting the daily quota of 1666 words. But I found the subject (or at least my take on it) to be an awful lot of work. Very little easy dialogue, a whole bunch of fictional facts. After a pathetic 300 words on day two, I shelved this […]
