I don't write many entries like this, but having just watched Hamilton, it seems now is as good a time as any to get this off my chest. To you who hate the right, to you who hate the left; to you who hate the Boomers, to you who hate the Millennials; to you who … Continue reading A Word from a Frustrated Moderate

06 – Getting to Know You: Self-Reflection and Resolution
I went back and reread this series last night and felt a pang of nostalgia. So, time to continue. Not gonna lie, this is a short one. But, it seemed like an important part to tell. <Previous Chapter> Bulkun is asleep within seconds, his chest lightly pressing against you each time he inhales. Your mind … Continue reading 06 – Getting to Know You: Self-Reflection and Resolution
Gosh, I Miss My Keyboard
Okay, random comment, but also bits of status update (sheesh, I think I've posted more in the last two days than all of last year combined...maybe I like even years). Watched a musician / comedian called Victor Borge for a while; he's dead, but YouTube has captured some very funny moments of his. Then again, … Continue reading Gosh, I Miss My Keyboard
Minor Status Update
Holy crap, I've written a lot this weekend; I'm pretty sure I wrote 16K today alone! It's nice to have a real day off occasionally. But anyway, yeah, there's a nice, big chunk in the Getting to Know You series. I don't have anything else planned for the time being, so we'll see when the next … Continue reading Minor Status Update
05 – Getting to Know You: Redelhorn
Just couldn't stand it, so I started writing right away... As fair warning, there's a scene that would involve a bit of blood in this chapter. I don't go into the blood, but without wanting to give anything away for those who want to read it anyway, just be advised that the thing Bulkun promised … Continue reading 05 – Getting to Know You: Redelhorn
04 – Getting to Know You: The Voyage (Part 2)
One of these days, I'll sleep instead of staying up all hours writing these... Or I'll spend hours reading about sailing and lose complete track of time. Sea shanties, anyone? So, this took considerably longer than I expected. What was supposed to be another 3K or so words to round out the first part turned … Continue reading 04 – Getting to Know You: The Voyage (Part 2)
03 – Getting to Know You: The Voyage (Part 1)
As soon as I started trying to go to bed last night, ideas started popping into my head for this installment. So, rather than doing the responsible thing and going to bed early to make up for having had only 4 hours of sleep last night (the meeting with the architect went well, by the … Continue reading 03 – Getting to Know You: The Voyage (Part 1)
02 – Getting to Know You: The Demonstration
For the record, I never intended for this to go this long; my notes on this are literally only 300 words. But, I've been thinking about this story off and on for months now, and I really wanted to add to it. So, here goes. I hope you enjoy! <Previous Chapter> You wake up to … Continue reading 02 – Getting to Know You: The Demonstration
Status Update
Hello, all. I've just finished reading Don Quixote, and I have to say, damn, that was a long book. I started reading it after watching some of The Expanse (I've since finished watching it), and in the time it has taken me to finish the book, I've also started and finished The Witcher. All of these have been entertaining … Continue reading Status Update
Update (Warning: Lots of Navel-Gazing)
Edit: To my readers, I appreciate you all, but this post is for me. You can read it if you want, but it really rambles a lot—even by my standards—and is not really a particularly "fun" post. So, if you want to skip this one, feel free; you're not missing anything. So, life's been nuts … Continue reading Update (Warning: Lots of Navel-Gazing)
