Novel Named: Kludged Singularity

December 22, 2019December 22, 2019 ~ Tony L Joy

As expected, writing over the last month had sped up significantly as I get to knock over all the things I'd been setting up in the preceding chapters. It looks like my 80,000 word estimate is a little low, I think I have more than 7,000 words of story left to pour into this draft … Continue reading Novel Named: Kludged Singularity

Technically Moved

November 28, 2019November 29, 2019 ~ Tony L Joy

The problem with over-engineering the technology in your home is that when you move it takes forever to remember how everything was supposed to work together. In July I tore down my various desktop computers, purged any old tech that wasn't worth packing, and drove out to Denver's high altitude and dry air to escape … Continue reading Technically Moved

On Keyboards

March 28, 2019March 30, 2019 ~ Tony L Joy

For almost a decade I’ve carried around a compact Apple Bluetooth keyboard wherever I went alongside an original iPad. My original iPad still works, believe it or not, and there are a few small niches it still fills, but I replaced it earlier this year with an old model iPad Air so I could run … Continue reading On Keyboards

First Novel Word Count Milestone – Halfway Point

March 18, 2019March 30, 2019 ~ Tony L Joy

When I first started writing this novel in earnest I assumed, without really thinking, that I could bang the whole thing out in 50,000 words. That seemed like enough room to tell a story, and it was conveniently short enough that I felt it was achievable. It also happens to be the National Novel Writing … Continue reading First Novel Word Count Milestone – Halfway Point

The Quality of Quantity

March 9, 2019March 30, 2019 ~ Tony L Joy

As i mentioned in my previous post, I attempted National Novel Writing Month 2018 and while there was a salvageable short story hidden in the 25,000 word mess I was otherwise disappointed with the results. Sure it's been four months since the event but I'm still finding valuable lessons so it's worth bringing up. It … Continue reading The Quality of Quantity

A Novel Attempt

March 2, 2019March 30, 2019 ~ Tony L Joy

I have had several story ideas kicking around in my head for the past decade. Well, I've had hundred of story ideas in that time, but there are a good dozen or so that stand out and nag me to instantiate them rather so they don't waste or rot in my brain. I always rationalize … Continue reading A Novel Attempt

It All Has to Start Somewhere

February 24, 2019March 30, 2019 ~ Tony L Joy

When was the last time you met someone and immediately asked them when they were born? Unless you’re some sort of automaton and that’s the first question on the list, I would wager you’re not in the habit of collecting birthdays right after the world “Hello.” Similarly you probably don’t really care about someone’s childhood … Continue reading It All Has to Start Somewhere
