Posting from Email


Blog

Hey guys, I’m testing the new Jetpack features. One of them is posting from email. Another is the auto-sharing to social networks. I have plenty more to write but it’s a whole bunch of different posts. Maybe I’ll get around to writing a few of them this weekend. Maybe.

My First Gray


Blog

In an exciting development, I recently became old and distinguished. How, you might ask? Be the discovery of my first gray hair.

Proposed Writing Retreat


Peace Corps, Writing

If you remember last year, I had an ambitious November. I wanted to take 30 days to make myself a better man, and I did. I wanted to do 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups each day, and I did. I also wanted to complete NaNoWriMo, and I did. It was ambitious and by the end I was absolutely drained […]
