anacronyms

Pre-addendum
It’s been a while since I perused the search terms that people use to get her. I have the usual number of searches for ‘anacronyms’ when people are looking for ‘acronyms’, and the seemingly endless searches for ‘genevieve gorder feet’ (she’s obviously some sort of cult goddess to the foot fetish crowd), but this [...]

Bad Blogger
That’s me, not www.blogger.com. I seem to be managing a post every ten days or so. This is not good.
Blogger, meanwhile, continues to improve their interface. The editor, previously rudimentary, now offers ctrl key combinations for style tagging and the usual basic HTML goodies. A big improvement. Yes, there are better, but [...]

A new favourite

KenJen Fever
Warning: possible Jeopardy Ken Jennings Watch spoiler. If you’re watching and enjoying the Ken Jennings run, don’t read any further.

I’m tired, in other words. I woke at something like 3:15 AM and got up to drive to [...]

Milestones
Milestones are like goalposts. Sometimes if you set them, the fates conspire to keep the ball out.
Such it is with the 50,000 word barrier. As I crept closer and closer, things began to get in my way. I had to fine-tune the plot (the micro-plot, actually, as I call it: the fine plot points surrounding [...]

Slacker Part Deux
I continue my blog-slacking ways. I just don’t have enough time. I’m working on too many projects.
I’m creeping closer and closer to 50k words on the novel. Part of the problem is that I’ve hit the end of the plot that I had, and I’ve not got a clear notion where to [...]
