Eyes fully lasered
Here I am, back on the computer at home after just one day. Everything went along very well and very quickly. The surgery was pain free. The only thing I felt was some pressure at the stage where they cut the flap open. And that just felt like someone pushing down on my eye. I… Continue reading Eyes fully lasered
Glasses coming off
In just about two days now I should be free of my glasses (or far less dependent) for the first time in 22 years. On Thursday I'll under go lasik surgery to have my vision corrected. I'm somewhat nervous, because like any surgical procedure there are complications. I'm also quite excited because my vision has… Continue reading Glasses coming off
Editing pass completed
After going to a friend's birthday dinner tonight I returned home and managed a pass through the 1,000-word horror story that I wrote a few weeks ago. Then I sent it off to one of my first readers for comment. Hooray for writing progress! I also had a brainstorm in the car the other day… Continue reading Editing pass completed
Your cheatin’ heart
Last night as a way of "relaxing" I decided to put in a little track time with GT4 (a racing simulator for the Playstation). The air quotes started to settle around my relaxing experience pretty early on. I started a race and quickly found myself falling behind my computer-controlled competitors. It wasn't that I lost… Continue reading Your cheatin’ heart
Transcription complete
I finished transcribing my new 1,000-word short story into electrons yesterday. I'm looking forward to making an editing pass through it soon and sending it out to readers for critique.
Earth Day FAIL
So today was the day that someone at work decided it would be a grand idea to box up all the plates, glasses and utensils we have and replace them with disposable plates, glasses and utensils. Happy Earth Day. FAIL.
Location, location, location
I spent this past weekend writing at the cottage. The weather for mid-late April was fantastic; warm and sunny without much wind. So nice in fact that I spent the bulk of my time writing outside near the lake with either a beer or coffee. During breaks I watched the ice breaking up out on… Continue reading Location, location, location
Productivity!
I'm back from a weekend up north and very satisfied with what I accomplished. First: I finished my short, short horror story. Now I need to transcribe it into bits and bytes. At least with this length that should be a minor task. Second: I made pages and pages of progress on a longer work… Continue reading Productivity!
Writing weekend
I'm heading north for the first time since January this weekend to do some writing. Now I just have to figure out what to write. There's a short, short story I'd like to finish drafting and a longer short story that is also jostling for attention. Or if I finish the short, short I can… Continue reading Writing weekend
