Almost there.

Posted on October 4, 2026 by murphy

I actually think I’ve cracked the first chapter. I’m up to about four pages and I don’t loathe it. I got the first part out of the way, and it’s rough but serviceable. Now I just have to sell the … Continue reading →

Posted on September 30, 2026 by murphy

So that whole “digging into my past” thing paid off in a real monkey’s-paw kind of way. I stumbled across the epubs of a couple of Sid’s books. I didn’t know I still had these. Trying to decide whether I’ve … Continue reading →

Vu ja de.

Posted on September 29, 2026 by murphy

Going to be light posting for a bit, because I’m working on the AZ-104 certification. I scored the voucher a while back from one of Microsoft’s promotions they do every year, and I was feeling pretty meh about it until … Continue reading →

A month in.

Posted on September 27, 2026 by murphy

Still working on that chapter (and a certification is kicking my ass), but it occurred to me that I’m a month into this project so I thought I’d take stock. Still don’t have a very good word count plugin, so … Continue reading →
