It’s oh so quiet….

Published by Kai on March 23, 2011

It’s 1am here as I’m writing this blog post.  I’ve done 12 (count em) articles today (work, which I can’t not do), tried to settle into my dissertation and failed miserably, skipped genning up a new character for my game, because I was  failing miserably at my diss, got breifly excited because my column went up today on ProudlionComics then sunk back into the doldrums of writing this dammed dissertation. It’s odd.  I’ve never struggled quite so much with work, until it’s due to be handed over to actually count towards my degree – I know these are the final…

I haven’t forgotten you

Published by Kai on March 16, 2011

I know, I know, I’ve been really REALLY bad at keeping up lately. It’s not actually that I’m bad at keeping up – it’s more that between a very sick small child (she’s nine, but she turns into about a three year old when she’s sick – she has emotional and behavioral problems), first draft of my dissertation, end of year taxes, and a copy writing company that’s only ever quiet when I’ve got time to deal with it, and super busy when we really don’t have the time to do anything, by the time I get to bed at night and actually think about blogging on my…

Exciting stuff

Published by Kai on March 10, 2011

It’s not all gloom and doom in my household. One of the big projects I’m launching post graduation is my new press project.  It’s two parts at the moment – with the whole thing being ran from one site – Occam’s Library is my e-book print arm, and covers working on the Kindle, and the Nook and other projects that involve the ‘simplest’ solution, while Schrödinger’s Library is the print project and will be lagging slightly behind this one.  I think that the overall project needs a proper name, so for now it’s falling under Lime-in-the-coconut , which was my…

A couple of changes

Published by Kai on March 9, 2011

My partner and I have chatted over the last couple of days – and one of the things that has come out is the fact that I need to buckle down and deal with my university assignments.  And it got me thinking –  there’s a lot of changes I need to make over the next few months. One of the things I’ve come around to, slowly, is that popularity doesn’t matter.  Not on a personal level at least.  Professionally, I work in a career that relies on what interest I can raise in my writing, so professionally it’s a different matter entirely.…

Office cat’s guide to blogging

Published by Kai on March 7, 2011

Hi there, I’m Office Cat.  My pet, Kai, has graciously allowed me to come onto her blog today to introduce the ‘office cat guide to Blogging’.  But first, may I offer my feline feliciations and give you an idea of who I am and my (blogging) pedigree. My name is Jenuine WildTansy, and I am an F4 Bengal.  But my mom (and pet) calls me Kushka, or Kushie, or Fuzzbutt, which is very undignified. But what my pet has told me about Blogging is *really* valuable, so valuable in fact that I wanted to share.  She’s doing the 30 day…

So, the new world order

Published by Kai on March 7, 2011

I discovered a couple of things this weekend – the first being I don’t like being out of control – meds haven’t changed how pressured I feel when things start dropping out-of-order. The second thing I discovered is I’m really freaking out about my dissertation – and with all my focus on trying to keep work flowing and keep up with all of my commitments, I’ve been pushing that to the back of my mind and going ‘la la la’. Not good given it’s due in just under 60 days and I’m only confident in about a fifth of it…

A bit of a dilema – at a crossroads

Published by Kai on March 3, 2011

So, I’m taking part in another blogging challenge, the V7N one that Cricket runs (remember to share the love!) and I have a bit…. a lot of a dilemma. I need to start getting focussed.  Specifically, I need to make time for both fiction writing and publishing.  I also really want to get back to the stuff I’m *really* passionate about, which is language, specifically, the language that we use to write ‘stuff’.  But I’m also mental about WordPress, and knitting, and…and…. Ok.  So there’s a couple of complications to this. One – I have a dissertation due on the 3rd of…
