Posted on November 1, 2026 by murphy

So I know it’s technically speaking been fall for a while, but for me, it’s the changing of the clocks that really kicks me into the seasonal mood. Ran out to pick up a Sam’s order this evening at about … Continue reading →

Ghosts.

Posted on October 31, 2026 by murphy

So, a bit of an explanation of why this was a rough week. I live a lot in the memories of better times, and while I’ve told a lot of stories here and elsewhere, occasionally something pops up that I’d … Continue reading →

Off night.

Posted on October 10, 2026 by murphy

Between working on the first chapter and a really great tropical storm rolling up (one that reminded me of another tropical system a couple of decades ago and someone I watched it with) I spent most of the night in … Continue reading →

What could have been.

Posted on October 6, 2026 by murphy

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 →

Wow.

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 →
