SSCS 03: Installment 1 of 35
Those Monsters We Have Dreamed About We are now live with Installment 1 of my next SSCS! (That stands for Serial Stream-of-Consciousness Story, which is something you can find out more about here.) I’ll be putting out a new installment once each week, on Friday, until the story is done (around about late August). This year’s story, ‘Those Monsters We Have Dreamed About,’ is definitely its own thing, distinct from those of the past two years. This time, I’ve gone…

Day-Moon – Crow-Moon 2024 Look-Back
Well, the New Year is almost upon us, and so it’s time again that I’d like to look back at the year and see what I did with this blog and website in 2024. I did the same thing last year (which you can see here if you’d like) and, because I am lazy, I think I’ll stick to the same format as last time. Then, anyone who wants to do a side-by-side comparison of the two years (or am…

2024 Writing Progress
Well, once again it is the time of year when I’d like to post up how my writing progress has gone for the year (and, if you’re curious, you can compare this year’s progress update with last year’s here). Progress updates are a funny thing. They imply a need for quantifiable achievement, and it is definitely true that I do like to tabulate things, probably more than other people would consider healthy (hence, the bottom of this post with my…
Weekly Garden Snapshot: 2024 week 49
See Previous | See Next We have come to the time of year when it really depends what part of the garden you live in. We have also come to the season of the Holidays, which are so busy, and so seem like as good a time as any for me to say that, going forward, I’m switching over from low-key weekly garden posts to very low-key garden posts, i.e., just the pictures. Some weeks I write less than 100…
fly-by-posting: 2024/12/06
I walk south through the parking lot at the end of the day, and this week the twilight-silhouetted mountains and the crescent moon have been keeping me company.
Weekly Garden Snapshot: 2024 week 48
See Previous | See Next Well, snow was predicted, and so it has come. It is, of course, working on melting again, but things have been wintery enough this week to keep it sticking around for a little bit at least, not that all of the roses have yet 100% gotten the memo. Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years, the season does seem to be mostly one degree of snowiness or another. Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years…
