The World Looks Brighter Today
After 13+ hours of sleep, the migraine is gone. My blood pressure, which had spiked due to all the stress (though not up to the 160/110 range it was traveling in before I fixed it—just up to 140/84), has worked its way back down to normal levels.

I have a ton of books, both in my personal reading library and in my writing research library, and almost all of them have to go—fast. I’d like to list them in eBay, but I’ve looked … Continue reading →
Some Weird Backgrounding on Project Blue
Am deep in developing a “written” language for the worldbuilding in Project Blue. I’m having to think way outside the box, because the language is encoded for weavers, knitters, and others who work in fabric, and it’s got to be compact but flexible. So patterns have meanings, and so do colors, and so do textures (think of knit and purl … Continue reading →
