The book I talked about in my last post is now available, so far only in ebook form. The paperback will be available soon. I made a new page for the series, which you can see here. I so appreciate all the interest people have shown! I really hope you like The Moving Pictures: An … Continue reading New Book Available!
New Book Coming!
As I mentioned in my last post, I have recently completed a new book, which will be the first of a series. I got the initial idea for it a few years ago. Actually, I think it was around 2015, so more than a few years, but it has taken me until now to write … Continue reading New Book Coming!
Back to Posting
It’s been a long time since I have posted anything here. I really have no excuse. Yes, the pandemic came along, and things were weird, and my brain felt all discombobulated, but that was true for everyone. I didn’t get sick, and I’m now fully vaccinated, and nothing particularly tragic happened to me. I’ve been … Continue reading Back to Posting
Trying NaNoWriMo This Year
I've decided to try something new this year: National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo. It happens in November every year. To be designated a winner you need to write 50,000 words between November 1st and November 30th. I'll be aiming for 2,000 words per day, leaving room for the possibility of a few days off … Continue reading Trying NaNoWriMo This Year
Pet Peeve: “An Historic”
I know this seems an awfully petty thing to write about right now, but it’s really an example of something much more important, which is a lack of the use of critical thinking skills. Besides, it drives me absolutely insane and I have to vent somewhere. I can’t stand it when people use the phrase … Continue reading Pet Peeve: “An Historic”
Photos of Beautiful Places
I've been lucky enough to travel to some fascinating and beautiful places, and today I just thought I would share some photos I've taken of a few of them. If you ever have a chance to go to any of these places, do it. Actually being there is far better than any photo.
On Groups, Individuals, Brains, and Politics
One of the many things I have been puzzling over lately is the psychological phenomenon in which people have trouble remembering that groups are made up of individuals. Examples include stories such as this one, about a town where people are shocked to discover that their vote to summarily expel all undocumented immigrants means a great … Continue reading On Groups, Individuals, Brains, and Politics
A Few Things I Recommend Reading
I find it difficult to write blogposts these days, mainly because every time I form a coherent thought I want to express, something else crazy happens and makes whatever I was about to say seem suddenly irrelevant. I frequently find the current state of my country and the world infuriating and/or terrifying, although I am … Continue reading A Few Things I Recommend Reading
Just for Today: Puppies
I've been pretty good about keeping up with developments in the news, and I will get back to thinking about all the terrible and ridiculous things that are happening, but just for today, I need a break. So, because puppies are the best thing in the world, here's a puppy video compilation, and because I … Continue reading Just for Today: Puppies
An Exercise in Civic Responsibility
I recently served on a jury. It was my second time doing so. I served on a criminal case once many years ago. This one was a civil case. I have never been one to try to avoid jury service. I have always believed in the importance of civic duty, that our rights come with … Continue reading An Exercise in Civic Responsibility
