    Welcome back, this time to the final installment of the Vivekananda series! Last time we took a look at Vivekananda’s post-Parliament tour of the US. From causing a stir in Christian circles to fostering drama within his followers, Vivekananda was not without his fair share of controversy. He then briefly hopped over to London, taught…

    Budget discussions during the special session are slated to begin June 3rd and last until June 5th, with a tentative slot for June 16th if needed. The first two days are scheduled for 0900EST until 2000EST. Long days ahead for the Senators. For what the budget features, I’ll leave you with the approved bill that…

    Not going to waste much time up front. Let’s just get into the updates this month! Finally got some much needed feedback on Book Two of Far North. Just from one alpha reader, but it still gave me the impression I was on the right track with things. I’ve also been slowly working on the…

    As mentioned in ​On Doing the Thing (Again)​​​ the next book in the Far North series is now with alpha readers! Has been since the start of the month too. It’s clocking in at 163 pages and 115k words, so I suspect it will be some time before notes are returned to me. We also finished our play-through of…

    I wonder if it’ll ever normalize that I keep writing and churning out new novels. Early this month, I finished the first draft of Far North – Returning: Vic. It’s still a shock. While there’s still plenty of editing work left to do, that’s half-way through the series as it’s been planned. When I was…

    Hi, hello, how are you? I’ll be keeping this update rather short and with minimal formatting. Why? Well, I’m trying out some new things and haven’t fully settled on how I want to present everything just yet. One noticeable change is that I’ve stopped recording word counts for each day. At the end of January…

    The month really felt like it flew by. Now, here we are, the end of October and about to finish out the rest of the year. This is also my chance to remind you: if you’re in the US, you have a matter of days to either get your ballot in or get prepared to…

    September was so busy! Around all my doctors appointments (don’t worry, all is well, just routine stuff), we also did a co-op stream with friend of the channel DarkSableye. We played both sides of The Past Within — the only co-op title in the Rusty Lake series of room escape puzzle games. It was a…

    Summer is almost over. We’re finally in the back half of the year. I’d say put on your cozy sweaters, but honestly, it’s still been pretty warm here. Plus, from what I hear, there may yet be some crazy tropical development until the end of hurricane season. Guess we’ll just have to see what happens!…

    Here we are, the end of the month. I know we missed the end of June. To be honest, I was excited to take a break and try to relax on our little vacation. If I had planned ahead I would’ve written something up…but I was exhausted by the end of the 12-streams. Let’s not…
