  • Writing and wrapup

    06 Dec 2006 » 3 min read about Writing & Publishing

    I did a little bit of work on “If By Reason of Strength…” this evening, about 350 words or so. The pace of the story is moving a bit slowly, but at this point, I’m just trying to get the story out. I can tighten it up once I’ve got the first draft written. I…

  • Getting my act together

    04 Dec 2006 » 4 min read about Writing & Publishing

    Today is the first day of my new plan for getting my act together that I mentioned earlier. I’ve been slacking off at the gym and at my meals. I’ve been very lazy and haven’t been doing much writing. This plan attempts to address all of these issues with two goals: 1. Be in the…

  • Waiting for Comcast

    I was up a 7:30 this morning and did a little bit of house cleaning while waiting for the Comcast technician to show up. They are scheduled to come between 8 and 11 this morning.

  • The interview

    13 Nov 2006 » 1 min read about Writing & Publishing

    Back in my senior year in college, I had to do a “profile” as part of my journalism minor. I decided to do a profile on an lifelong New Yorker, my Grandpa, Paul Friendlander. The resulting profile was called “A Big Apple A Day” and it was great. I even thought about submitting it somewhere,…

  • Something Dumb…

    13 Nov 2006 » 2 min read about Writing & Publishing

    The web provides a convenient means for posting and publishing all kinds of nonsense and I figure I might as well take advantage of some of that capability. I have had, collecting dust since high school, a series of stories that some readers of this blog will be familiar with. The Something DumbTM series of…
