100 Days of Writing: Day 3 I now have a sketch for the first two scenes of a short story using characters I developed back in Clarion. Am I getting anywhere? It’s really too early to tell. I find I’m using the time not writing preparing for these writing sessions.…

2 comments100 Days of Writing: Day 1 Just checked in to say I did it. Was torn between planning/researching and continuing writing. Had trouble stopping once I was into it.

Leave a commentOr maybe Why It’s So Hard to Blog Again. Yesterday, after getting evicted from Tony’s Estate over at Ruby Road in Ortigas and finding refuge in a random Family Mart, I got Paul and Tin into thinking about what shifted in the blogging landscape when we were in our twenties…
