Character Name Creativity

One of the beautiful things about Scrivener is that it has a bunch of built-in tools to make some of the “creative” elements of writing just a touch easier. For example, it has a “Name Generator”, complete with a set…

Pausing Tewei

I don’t really want to, but … I have to. Right now, the scope of what I want to write for the book is conflicting heavily with what I currently feel … capable … of writing. I know enough to…

Researching Tewei

I’ve hit a weird combination of an overall writer’s block and what I can only describe as a … research block. “What on earth is a ‘research block’?”, I can hear you questioning. [Ok, maybe you’re not questioning it, but…

“I’m a writer!!!”

A couple of months or so ago, I stumbled across this gem of a meme… I really felt this one,as I had so recently (when I read it) needed to research the amount of time typically associated with healing from…

Anime Thoughts: Fall 2022 Season (Initial)

Yes, it’s that time again. Rather than going through with what I’ve started / dropped, though, let me just talk about the stuff that I’m pretty sure I’m watching for this season. But First … a micro-Rant Before I jump…

It’s Alive!!!

The “It” in this case being, finally, my Mac Mini. It’s been a couple of weeks since I last mentioned this (in Computer Restituo Interruptus … or not?). The reality of what happened after that post is that the computer…

Anime Thoughts: Summer 2022 Season (Wrap-Up)

Ok. Summer 2022 anime season is (mostly) over. I say mostly because there were a couple of late-starters which are still running for another episode or two, but I think it’s safe to say I’ve finalized my opinions on the…

Acupuncture and Spinal Cord Injury – for me

Computer Restituo Interruptus … or not?

For those whose Latin is lacking (or non-existent), that is probably a rather butchered version of “Computer Restore Interrupted”. Let’s start with the Good News ™! Yesterday, I got my Mac Mini back and the SSD transplant was a success….

Computer … Recoverable?

As I was ranting about yesterday, my desktop Mac Mini failed and the only assistance that Apple was willing to offer was a burial. Maybe there would’ve been flowers and a choir, but from their perspective, it was dead and…
