NaNoWriMo Day 7 – Procrastination Nation
So I didn’t write an update four Day 5 or Day 6 because on Day 5 I wrote almost 8,000 words and was just too mentally drained and yesterday I was caught up in research so didn’t have the most…
Free Speech? No thanks, we’re Canadian.
The bullies of the intolerant left succeeded again. They shut down another event where, gasp, people wanted to have an open and frank discussion about media bias and gender identity. In public. It’s the “in public” part that caused all…

NaNoWrMo 2019 – Day 2 – Breaking the 10K barrier
Broke the 10K barrier today, and am just 55 words shy of 11K at 4pm PST. Very fun, with many more words to come yet. There’s still sunshine out my window, for crying out loud! Today’s writing session was all…

#NaNoWriMo 2019 Begins!
I love November, but not for the reason you might think. I hate mustaches. Not that I think raising awareness of prostate cancer is a bad thing. It’s not. It’s fantastic. But I’m a writer so November 1st marks the…
Freedom of the Press, Alan Forsythe and the Hope Standard
