Sometime at the end of October and the first of November of last year, Microsoft made a major automatic update to their Windows 11 program that crippled my two-year-old laptop and left it limping into December and the first couple weeks of January until it crashed and died.

My commentary on life, writing, making art, and blogging.
Taking a Break
As we head into November, I’m taking a two-month pause from blogging to work on some writing projects that I’ve not been able to focus on properly, and to consider the direction in which I want to steer my blog.

I called my blog “Creating New Worlds” and made my first … Continue reading Twelve Years at WordPress
Reminiscing, part 1
I find wintertime the best time to get on top of my plans and goals. January and February are typically the two coldest and snowiest months where I live. Leaving the house can be a chore and a half when it snows: Getting in and out of snowsuits and boots, shoveling the stuff, battling drifts … Continue reading Reminiscing, part 1
