New Year Writing Resolution 2011
In 2011, it is my goal to write and publish something online everyday. 365 days of published content somewhere on the interwebs. I’ve got a backup number of days in mind if the full year falls through, but I don’t even want to consider it right now. I’m shooting for the full year. Not all of the writing will appear … Continue reading
Some Fun Videos for Vacation Time
These videos definitely are not Christmas-themed videos, and they are not family friendly. With those two caveats out of the way, I wanted to share some videos recommended to me by co-workers. So, if you find yourself bored during any vacation time you may have, I think you’ll enjoy these. Bite Me is a hilarious set of zombie episodes much … Continue reading
Driving by East New Orleans
I just got back from driving my wife and kids up to stay with the grandparents, and I ended up driving through East New Orleans for the first time. Mind you, I was on the interstate, so it wasn’t like I was taking a street by street tour of the entire area. Continue reading

See that? I’m a winner! Woohoo! I wrote more than 50 thousand words in one month to earn that badge. Granted, my final word count was 50,006, but I crossed that line! I have written a first draft to a short novel. The best thing about my writing efforts this year is that I’m truly happy with the story and … Continue reading
What I’m Learning / Remembering in NaNoWriMo
It’s crunch time in the National Novel Writing Month, and I’m writing a blog entry instead of working on my novel. How’s that for priorities? Tonight was a actually a very productive writing night, so I wanted to switch over and finally publish this post before the writing challenge ends and / or before I fall asleep in front of … Continue reading
Takeout Food in the French Quarter
I learned something last weekend: you cannot take a “to-go” box of food from a restaurant in the French Quarter without people asking to have your leftovers. From the restaurant to our car, three separate people asked for the Styrofoam box in my hand, even though they had no idea what kind of food I had. What’s more is that … Continue reading
Spending Your Time
November is nearly here, and I am about to embark on the National Novel Writing Month experience. The goal is to write 50,000 words in a month and not go crazy in the process. With the challenge before me, I’ve been thinking through time management a lot lately. There are so many things that need and deserve out attention from … Continue reading
