Happenings and Happenstance
Ok, apparently, I’ve been terribly neglectful of my blog these past few days. I’ve actually got two entries in draft form that I just haven’t quite finished yet. So, in an effort to catch myself up on some of my happenings the last few days, here’s a short bullet-list:
Remember when I posted a visual writing prompt? [...]
Things To Do
Geez, I have a lot of things on my non-work-related to-do list:
Finish writing the two blog drafts currently waiting in the queue

“Our gods are dead. We have killed them, and now we don’t know what to do with the bodies.”
Brother Lucius, Hierarch, Order of Kalesto
Emberverse
I just finished reading The Protector’s War by S.M. Stirling. It’s the sequel to Dies the Fire, where the entire world’s technology is rendered useless, along with all explosives. As a result the world is tumbled into chaos as governments fall, leaving a handful to rise out of the ashes of civilization to build new [...]
Endless Hour
Before I forget again and the deadline passes by completely, Jason Evans is running another of his really short fiction contests over on his blog. This one is called The Endless Hour and follows the same rules as all his others – 250 words based on the picture he’s provided. Deadline is this Wednesday by midnight, I [...]
