Writing a daily blog is not as easy as you would think, especially during this time of isolation, where every day is pretty much the same. I get up, make my coffee, answer pressing emails, check my e-publishing related numbers and accounts, and then write my blog post. After, I do work stuff for mostContinue reading “Two months at home”

I read a great article the other night on e-publishing, and it put things into perspective. It was perhaps the best article I’ve read on the subject.

Yesterday, my wife made me take a break, so I did. Although I was bitter likeContinue reading “Stormy day”

Yesterday I started to redo the very first house project I completed when we bought our house. It was a small project of scraping and painting around our front door entranceway. It was primarily a cosmetic job, but it really helped with the curb appeal. We live near the coast, and the elements and saltContinue reading “Memory lane”
