Had to walk a little earlier this morning to clear the way for a dental appointment. Lots of family business to deal with today after a glorious day off yesterday. I talked about Roger, Factorio, and The Forgotten Fleet.

Day 2657: Fallow

2025/09/09

I got out early this morning, in part because I’m against a 9am deadline and also because I was up and ready to go. Didn’t feel like waiting for sunrise. Talked about the Cat, Factorio, the Japanese 4-act structure Kishōtenketsu, … Continue reading →

Day 2656: Darkish

Kind of a dreary looking morning. Not as chilly as yesterday’s 40F but the damp made it feel cooler. I talked about A Novel That Will Not Be Named, Factorio, and how much better the Cat is than I thought … Continue reading →

Day 2655: Not 1000

Halfway through the walk I realized that it’s only 635 days worth of haiku everyday. A good number but a typo in my tickler file put the notice on the wrong year. Missed it by that much. Also geese!

Talked about Factorio too much and writing a little. Some commentary on the morning.

Day 2653: Finally, Maybe

tommw ·

2025/09/02

I talked about Pop_OS vs Fedora Plasma a bit. I don’t know why I’m playing with Linux distros. Also discussed the utility of Workspaces to organize my work. My Factory is growing. Oh, I may have written the last line … Continue reading →

Day 2652: 1-Day, Take 2

2025/09/01

I was up early to bake bread and just followed that with the walk. Talked some about the Cat, not traveling (remembering some of the trips I wish I’d never taken), and hinted at the traps new writers fall into.

Day 2651: 1-Day

tommw ·

2025/08/31

So I was on the fence. Take the extra day off or walk the extra 1 day in a row. I walked. Obviously. I talked a lot about Factorio, Sam Blood’s Counterpart Academy Book 1 (A School So Gorgeous and … Continue reading →

Day 2651: 40 Miles

tommw ·

2025/08/29

Seems like 2 out 3 days is a winning combination. I talked about making the milestone, finishing Sarah J. Hoodlet’s volume 2 of Way of the Wielder, and a new perspective on Factorio.

Day 2650: Safety Dance

tommw ·

2025/08/28

Sorry. A weird headspace this morning. Wonderfully mystical morning with low hanging ground fog being illuminated by the rising sun. Talked about Roger, Way of the Wielder, and Factorio again.

Day 2649: Subdued

tommw ·

2025/08/26

Not quite wet enough to be sub dude, but still a damp and dreary morning. I mumbled about Way of the Wielder and Factorio along with recaps of yesterday’s fun with City Inspectors and My Visit With Roger. (Not to … Continue reading →

Day 2648: Dark and Dreary

tommw ·

2025/08/25

At least it was cool. I talked about Sarah J. Hoodlet’s Way of the Wielder series, Factorio, and a little bit about Roger and the Cat. Will I have a full draft by month’s end? It’s possible. Or was possible … Continue reading →

Blue Day

2025/08/23

I walked but didn’t talk. Ran into some technical difficulties. Tomorrow’s a 3-day but Monday looks good. With any luck at all…

Day 2647: We’re Walking…

tommw ·

2025/08/22

And babbling. Usual blather. Factorio, wrapping up Soldier’s Life 4, spending quality time with Roger every morning. I seem to write his mornings more than evenings. Wonder if that would change if I wrote in the evening…

Day 2646: About Time

tommw ·

2025/08/20

In addition to the usual Factorio, Soldier’s Life, and Roger, I talked about two Greek concepts of time – chronos and kairos – and the video I saw last night from Jessica McCabe of How to ADHD fame.

Day 2645: One Minute Till Dawn

tommw ·

2025/08/19

I got out early this morning. I’ve got things I want to accomplish, not the least of which is getting back to spend the morning with Roger. I talked about Soldier’s Life #4, my minor gripe about the author’s pricing … Continue reading →

Day 2644: Another Baking Day

tommw ·

2025/08/17

Literally, in this case. I baked the week’s bread before getting underway this morning. The difference in time – about half an hour – made the back half of this walk really sweaty. I talked about Factorio mostly, with some … Continue reading →

Day 2643: Fun With Computers

tommw ·

2025/08/16

In which I went into way too much detail about fixing my SecondLife client problems yesterday and how my Factorio game is off on the wrong chunk. Tech note: My fumbly fingers stopped the recording inadvertantly as I was getting … Continue reading →

Day 2642: Gently Moseying

tommw ·

2025/08/14

Caught myself walking-not-talking a lot this morning. What little I did say concerned writing, reading, and playing Factorio. Also, I forgot to turn on airplane mode and shut off the bluetooth and wifi. Might be some extra noise.

Day 2641: Showing Up

tommw ·

2025/08/13

Apparently “Showing Up” is in the air. It’s been surrounding me for the last two weeks. I talked about it for most of the walk, after a brief summary of The Full-Sized Bed Incident that started yesterday on the wrong … Continue reading →
