House moved

It only took two (small) car loads, one solid friend, and three hours to pack up all my worldly possessions and ship ’em across town. Now I’m about 70% set up in the new place, acclimating, and intent on establishing some kinda routine. No words yet, but I’m off to […]

Moving house

Not sure if I mentioned this here yet, but I’m packing up and moving to different part of the city this week. Fairly major shift away from the downtown core to the Greater Toronto Area. Major benefits are cost savings and more time to write (and, hopefully, exercise). The major […]

Should have been “wordstorm” last blog

Because it was a winter storm situation outside! Damn missed opportunity. Today, the snow is stopped and I only (so far) wrote 911 words. Which is a lot more than I expected, what with afternoon plans brewing, but one again the story momentum provided the energy. Must enjoy while it […]

Two thousand eight hundred and fifty five! (2,855) Words written… Episode Five has good momentum. Surprise scenes, flowing nicely. Short blag, as now I must soon brave a solid snowfall for Hooch Hour.
