Uncommon Pie Reviews
The header says “Uncommon Pie Reviews”. Now, you might be wondering what this is going to be. A collection of reviews? A review of the reviews? A review of that book called “Uncommon Pie”, or more correctly “Uncommon Pie & Other Stories”, subtitled “The SloWord Collection Vol 1.” I decided on this poll, hoping it makes things easier for people.
Fruitful Work
Fruitful Work And so it came about that I, bored from lack of paying work, tired from a year of travelling, walking uphill, downhill, along streams, lakes, tiled streets, cobblestoned avenues, gazing where the daffodils were, probably, blowing in the spring, in places as diverse as The Eastern Townships, The Bruce Pensinsula, Lisbon,…
Shopping for gas
After yesterday's chaos at the dealership over the service appointment for the car (I'll tell you about it some other time...), I had yet another episode of the Shopping Blues. So the minivan, Rusty, was severely short of gasoline. So much so, that the yellow "Reserve" light shone steadily and bright in mine…

NaNoWriMo 2019
I won the challenge set by NaNoWriMo 2019. Here is my certificate. You're probably wondering what I'm talking about, right? Right --> That way. Yep. For the second year in a row, I have managed, somehow, to meet the personal challenge of writing at least 50,000 words in the month of November. Last…
NaNoWriMo – Day 7
Day 7 has come and I'm done my stint for the day. Not as much as I would have liked. But this fictional stuff is hard. It's not like the stream of unconsciousness crap I usually churn out on this blog. That comes from a unlatched brain. I can usually churn out 1500…
