Once upon a time, I tried to do NaNoWriMo while in my first trimester of pregnancy. It didn’t work. Neither did this (no, I’m not pregnant). I mean, it worked. It’s Easter Morning, and aside from any minor gaming I’ve done while writing about gamification for work or testing game-y things we’ve built and a [...]

Seriously. I spend all week struggling with all the “idle moments” urges to play an app on my phone for 5 minutes. I start twitching at work because of the standard work-related chaos that I usually relieve at the end of the day with a bit of Skyrim (or those idle moments with apps). It [...]

It’s that time of year again. You can keep your New Year Resolutions. Nobody ever expects to keep them.

I can handle the “withdrawal” issues of giving up chocolate or internet, or soda (not caffeine mind you, with true withdrawal issues) much easier than forcing myself to spend 30 minutes each day writing. Last week I [...]

“It wasn’t my fault,” I’d say to St. Peter if he called me on how well I did this first week. “I was in Vegas for the first few days. I tried, but there was so much–” “Sin?” he’d ask with one eyebrow arched as he jotted a note down with his quill on a [...]

There are lots of things I could go without for a while. A few weeks ago I realized that I’d let the Internet take hold of me and considered another 40 day purge. This produced a surprising reaction in a few friends who reminded me that at the end of it I was miserable and [...]
