I talk, but when it really comes down to it I don’t believe in luck. So, today being the eighth day, of the eighth month, of the two-thousand and eight — a day, obviously, peppered with “lucky eights” as per Chinese culture — doesn’t really have much meaning for me beyond the arbitrary confluence [...]

Message reads: There are precisely four focus patterns for this particular iteration of the inversion construct. Please be patient while these patterns are assimilated into the output buffer for review.
Pattern BeeGee, Historical Documentation and Open Cyclical Leverage.

It is why I continue. You don’t need to understand much more than that. There is method to this madness that has encapsulated my steps as I walk another stretch on this strange adventure. There is purpose here, and you can sit back an observe without feeling anything awful such as guilt [...]

I was listening to the latest DNTO podcast yesterday on my homeward commute and the topic happened to be, in paraphrase, the ‘origin of good ideas.’ In other words, those great little imagination constructs that are the seeds of incredible things… from whence do they come?
The aforementioned programme alluded to this too, but as [...]

Don’t worry if you still don’t understand completely, just yet. It remains deliberately confusing and vague. I try to pull the bits into a swirling whole and see how the pieces land before I move onwards. There are scattered bits of plot and idea, meandering fragments of character and concept, and traces of threaded notions [...]

Do I smell a tasty new family tradition? Mmm…. Pie. You know you want a piece.

so. there it is. i’m letting the minutes stretch out before me until when i need put on my shoes and go for another cup of coffee. then, return to this reality. i think the cracks have been fewer. the simulation of me has been much better behaved lately. it has been more careful, ensuring [...]

December 31
Well, this is it. The last day in December, and with thirty successful entries behind me it’s time to look way back. This is New Years Eve, and one of the things about running a blog for over half a decade is that eventually things become habitual — repeatable — traditional, even. [...]

I was listening to a writing podcast the other day and they were talking about doing character development through the use of whitespace. That is to say, by filling in the spaces around a character, one is left with a vacant spot where the character would fit. At first I thought that [...]

Get this. Strange coincidence, or what? This morning the US dollar and the Canadian dollar were equal for the first time in nearly thirty-one years. The last time that happened (again, about thirty-one years ago) was November 1976. I’m nearly thirty-one years old. In fact, I was born in November 1976. [...]

Going on a ten day vacation didn’t help things. The writing has been in a state of stalemate since we left, and (having given myself an extended deadline of the end of May to catch up) I have yet to get myself back into metaverse-creation-mode.
Conflicting priorities? Maybe.
The problem, I think, is plot. It [...]

8: I’ve been experimenting, lately. Truth be told, I’ve been going through something of a phase of general self-refinement. You know how it goes: things are changing and it’s time to pick sides on matters of eclectic preferences moral, creative, and substantive. Really, the truth be told, I’ve got far too many [...]
