The obligatory first post.

I am only back on Blogger because Wordpress.com costs more to use somehow. I try to use my own domains but somehow that's incompatible and costs more money. Ugh.

Anyway, there's going to be a few bumps here and there as I get things set up here (including layout). It's been a very, very long time since I used Blogger at all. My last website was on Wordpress, but I guess I'm moving everything here instead despite that. For the last... four years, I think? I've had an online serial. A handful of you may have read it. It was called The Wake, got to three volumes and then I stopped writing it (which I'll explain about later). And then I tried something else, and I honestly have no idea if I had any readers because I turned off the comments. Oops. And then it got to website renewal time and I realised it wasn't worth the cost of having the site anymore. (And yes, clearly it worked so well the first time that I'm just going to keep doing it? There is a method to my madness but I have no idea what it is yet.)

So the setup is that there's going to be a sister site, where my serial is going to live. This will be a new one, not reproduction of the previous one. It'll be some time before that's ready to go, considering that I want to get to halfway with it, and I'm just not there yet. Here is where my ramblings are, because I keep needing some kind of outlet for it. Don't worry, I'm mostly harmless. I'd put them together, but it's a bit of a mess and I figure most people won't want to read that part anyway. I'll link them eventually.

Anyway. Hello.

 So, uh, early last month I started posting a serial again! Yeah, I just didn't want to mention anything about it before I got the ball rolling (look, I know how bad my own momentum is, and therefore, I needed a while). It's up on Wattpad .  Part of this is that I'm trying to fight my own perfectionism, which is why it's an early draft. This might all get cut or cleaned up a lot later on for an ebook release, but right now, it's a bit meandering and light on description. Some people might still want to read that, I don't know, but it's better than me having this sit on my computer/4thewords account and just fretting over how good or not good it is. Part of this is that I haven't been posting anything in public for three years, and it's like I have to get back on the horse, relearn how to walk, whatever metaphor works best, I don't know. It may or may not take me a while to get my footing, but I am also a bad judge of that.  If you've read The...

One year after the pandemic began

Over here on my little island we're just coming out of level 5 lockdown. For the last month, we've been dealing with a massive cluster of cases along with one of the Covid-19 variants. It appears to be settling down now. We've had the longest provincial election ever (which still isn't over, by the way!). We have a vaccine plan now so the ball is finally rolling on that. I am genuinely not sure what day it is because of how repetitive everything has been. In fact, I started using a planner not because I had anything to keep track of, but because it's proof that something happened each day. It is not a very big planner, just an A6-sized one. I've also been spending a lot of time playing Stardew Valley. It's taken me three months to watch a single season of Supernatural (because I figured I may as well watch the entire show now it's over. Yes, I know it goes off the rails after like season five. No, I don't actually care. I don't watch television ...

 Has it actually been nine months since I posted last?!? Time must have gotten away from me.  I suppose I don't like posting when I have nothing to say, other than the fact that I have been having the worst luck technology-wise. This is what I mean: finally upgraded my 10+ year old laptop to a refurbished ~4 year old year laptop (I think). Good! Also, I don't think I can ever go back to non-business-grade laptops now. I think it's the matte screen. Bad: the brand new external hard drive I bought to go along with the laptop (because it had a smaller hard drive than my older laptop) basically was near-dead the day I got it. After trying to make it work for two weeks, I finally send it back for a refund.  Refund cost me $25 for shipping because they only do free UPS return shipping and the nearest UPS place is like over an hour's drive away. Not great. But whatever, it's out of my hands. Laptop is fine for several months. Yay. I do Camp NaNoWriMo during this time, sinc...
