DING! Novel’s done!

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

Because I was writing furiously for a month, I didn’t get to post here much. Which is okay, because it spurred me to finish NaNoWriMo. Yes! My book Revenant is “done” at 51,455 words. What’s more, it has spurred me to continue writing. So off we go to a new book. Then another, and another, […]

NaNoWriMo Trip Report

Friday, November 6th, 2009

I hit 9,511 last night. I hit it like the FIST OF AN ANGRY GOD. Edit: I’m a-testin’ something which may be cool. [wave id=”googlewave.com!w+gIAyi8qBA”] Edit edit: It would be cooler if it worked. Ah well. Edit edit edit: Aaaand it works! You have to have a Wave account and be using a worthwhile browser, […]

It’s like I’m a real writer or something

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Five days into NaNoWriMo and I’m over 8,000 words now. Feels good man. With some luck I’ll hit 9,500 tonight. With a LOT of luck I’ll hit 10,000, which puts me on par to “winning” NaNoWriMo (writing 50,000 words) on the 25th so I can spend Thanksgiving being thankful that I don’t have to write […]

Internet-mandated post topic: Google Wave

Friday, October 30th, 2009

I have a Google Wave account. :smug: Wait, wait, don’t come begging for invites! I didn’t get one of THOSE accounts; I have a latecomer developer account on the dev server, and we don’t get invites or the ability to play with the other reindeer on the “public” alpha server. Instead, we desperately search for […]

NaNoWriMo for your VERY SOUL

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

I’m involved in the National Novel Writing Month for the third year running. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a sort of “destroy your brain forever” activity where otherwise perfectly sane people try to write an entire 50,000 word novel in 1 month, from November 1-30. I’ve “lost” the past two years, so here’s […]

And another thing

Friday, October 16th, 2009

(No relation to the new Hitchhiker’s Guide book, by the way, which I haven’t yet even had a chance to pick up. For that matter, no relation to my previous post. For that matter, the title is completely erroneous.) I was just looking at what this whole Windows Live thing installed, and while this bloggy […]

Punt the pundits, shock the jocks

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Hidey ho, good Interneighbors. I’m doing some bloggin’ on the sly using the new Windows Live Writer, don’t mind me, just hanging out, ho hum. So how about those politics today, huh? Man, it’s like you can’t swing a cat without hitting someone who hates the very concept of swinging cats. I’ve heard the following […]

Oh hey didn’t see you there

Monday, May 11th, 2009

Hey everybody, Chris is updating again! Hey everybody, Chris thinks anyone gives two poops in a thunderstorm that he’s updating again! Whatever. Facebook is fun and all but THIS … this is MY URI and you dinkleheads can never take that away from me without a court order or a DDoS attack or, I dunno, by […]

Oh, I’m not gonna shut down. Spammers are still stupid, but who cares. I don’t usually go off like that. Sorry, internet, it won’t happen again. :hanging head:

What NOW?

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

Oh fr the love of Pete. Now I’m getting autospammed with advertising masquerading as comments on my posts even though I have comments turned off. I just deleted over 3000 of them! What do you jackals want from me? How do you even DO that?! I’m this close to just shutting down this freakin’ blog […]
