After working hard at my chosen career for the past six years I’ve reached the point where I have a surplus of time and money, so have to use both to achieve all the things I can while both at home and while traveling. And so, after making a list of all I’ve accomplished in [...]

Over at the diabolo.ca forum someone posted a video of diabolo act that I posted here a few weeks ago. After adding a bit about the history of the routine, Marky J asked a good question: My show is isn’t really choreographed that tightly and the tricks I attempt normally depend on the crowd, conditions, [...]

Last week I worked on the Tahitian Princess. This was my route: I had a really good time! The show lounge had the lowest ceiling I’ve ever had to perform under. I have a “low ceiling version” of my show, but I had to cut stuff even further! Also they wanted a second show of [...]

I’ve been a bit unwell this week, and haven’t felt like blogging. But I have done other stuff. Here’s some things, in no particular order: I made a video showing a large majority of all the photos Pola and I took of ourselves while holding the camera at arm’s length. It wasn’t something I planned [...]

I had my August novel all planned, well thought out, everything ready to go. Two stories would be told side by side, chapter by chapter, with one showing the back story of one main character, Adam, and the other following the main course of action of another character, H, with the two characters meeting half [...]

I just posted this to a forum, but thought I’d post it here too, so I can link to it easily when asked for podcasting advice. Sort out your titles and ID3 tags right now! Not every single person downloads podcasts via iTunes, which re-titles and stores the audio files using the information in the [...]

I’ve seen links all over to the website called Where I Write, which features photos of science fiction and fantasy authors in the places where they write. For example: So, after seeing yet another link to the same website, I thought I’d share a photo of the place I write. I’ve got time to spare [...]

Musings on my next novel project.

Earlier I wrote and posted about my “a short novel every three months” plan which sort of hit a snag in May. Not to worry, I’ll just move on. It’s not like I write for a living (a point I’ll touch on in a future post). So, here’s where I’m up to regarding my August [...]

EJC 2009 day 4.

8th
Jul. × ’09
By admin

Pola came to bed at nine thirty this morning. I think that beats my latest EJC bedtime record (except for the nights I just stayed up until the next night). I’d got to bed and sleep at about five thirty though, so it resulted in a quite short nights sleep. I got up at about [...]
