Little technical issue tonight.

So I wanted to start watching that Popstar movie. I have a Blu-ray player, a projector and a home stereo setup. It's complicated and a little hard to get to.

So I slipped it in, and the DVD got to the menu, but I couldn't get the remote to do anything. Opened up the battery compartment, and one of the batteries had fizzed out. So I removed both, cleaned everything to some extent, put in new batteries, and nothing.

OK.

I have another Blu-ray player, a multi-region LG one I got from 220 Electronics a year ago but haven't had the occasion to use. Thought I'd try bustin' that out. So I got everything connected but I couldn't get the remote to work.

Same problem as the old remote.

So I've ordered a replacement remote from eBay for the new player. Meanwhile I will try to do a deeper clean of both remotes' contacts, with baking soda and a toothbrush this time.

But not tonight.

Grateful while struggling

I've been struggling with things for quite a while now. The trauma of the worst pains ever, both physical as emotional, is still very present. I've written a lot about that, which is quite understandable, I guess, as it's been some very hard times of my journey of life. But sometimes I feel like I need more positivity, both on my blog, as in my life. I've been trying to add more "good things" to my daily routine/life. I started working on puzzles again. I've been reading quite a lot lately as well. Within ±4 weeks, I've read 5 of the 6 books of the  "Robert Langdon" series by Dan Brown, and I started the latest one as well. I tried to focus a bit better on my exercises, some days going better than others. And then, while I sat on the couch watching Downton Abbey, I realized something... […]

Edited sepia-toned photograph taken at the Herperduin, showing tall pine trees stretching toward a softly clouded sky. Sunbeams filter through the branches, casting long, gentle rays across a quiet forest clearing. The scene feels calm yet introspective. At the bottom, turquoise text with a soft glow reads “Grateful while struggling,” adding an emotional layer of resilience to the serene landscape.

🎉 Ah yes, the tragedy of modern life: being oppressed by an RSS feed. 📚 Who knew that the real villain was a humble web protocol with zero interest in your reading habits? 😂 Apparently, the solution to digital ennui is whining about how reading is hard.

Saw someone post on another platform something that said "XXX are the most resilient #indigenous people in the world"

And I understand the sentiment, but there are ways praise the strength of people without indirectly denigrating other #struggles around the world. Let's remember that.

(Put XXX because it doesn't matter who they were referring to)

Day 30: The End

So, this is it… The final day. Get your final counts posted, and then take a break, you’ve earned.

Let’s talk about what we’ve accomplished this month. Look back on our struggles, and our achievements. You’ve come a long way in thirty days!

Day 28: I Miss This

I used to have cats. I miss when they interrupted me while I was working on writing a story, blog post, or whatever. The distraction was always worth it.

Hopefully, for those who are still going, there aren’t any major ongoing distractions in your way. (But a cat distraction would be good.)

Day 27: It's Turkey Day in the U.S. - Are You Thankful For Your Novel?

I know Thanksgiving is specific to the United States (although other countries have similar holidays), but this is a good point in the competition to take stock: you have a nearly completed novel. Only about 5K to go, if you are on target.

Personally, I am very thankful for this month. I am thankful for meeting all of you who have been participating in this competition. (I’m also thankful for those who have been lurking. 😀)

I don’t know how much I’ve mentioned this, but for quite some time I was unable to partake in this annual ritual because of family issues. And, over the last five years, I haven’t been able to find the motivation. But, this group has given me just enough of a push for me to actually do this again. Get me back into my love of writing.

Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.

I’m really dreading tonight because apparently, the urinalysis that was supposed to be done got sent to the wrong place, so now I have to do it again.

As I’m writing this, I haven’t taken my night medication because it would affect my urinalysis results. That’s why I’m not able to sleep tonight. This is dreadful…

A new post

What is there to write about when the brain is messy and foggy? When nothing has happened that could be interesting enough to write about? When you feel like you have nothing that's worthy of mentioning? Because it all feels boring and repetitive... Well, my brain decided to write a bit about that! 😉 I used to write many blog posts in advance. My brain used to have to many ideas and motivations to write about... But ever since Arwen passed, it seems the topics have been about the same thing every time... […]

Day 24: Mo' Grind Mo' Better

So, we’re into the final full-week of FediWriMo, and only one person is behind.

I would like to take a moment to acknowledge the growth of this community. While we haven’t heard from others, we started this month with single digit subscribers (heck, I started the community the night before the challenge began), and we’ve grown to 26 subscribers.

If any of the subscribers we haven’t heard from are doing their own writing month challenge, we’d love to hear from you. If any of you have any other feedback, please feel free to post it. This community isn’t just for those of us who’ve been psoting stats. It’s for all subscribers.

The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter. ’tis the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.

Day 22: Staying Comfortable

Something that has occurred to me over time is the need to stay comfortable during long writing sessions. I used to have issues with back pain, which I eventually realized was due to my chair. I finally got a really good chair for sitting at my desk for long periods. But, I also realized that another form of discomfort comes from staring at the monitor too long. So I use a timer to force my self to take breaks every 45 minutes.

Do you do anything like this?

So, how’s your progress going? Tomorrow will mark the start of the last full week of the competition. Are you making any adjustments to your goals? Or are you thinking you are still writing to target?

Day 21: In Your Space

We’ve mentioned writer’s desks / spaces before. But, is there something that is extra special, or critical to your writing space?

Music is my big thing. I have a small stereo with a set of nice bookshelf speakers here. I also have a bunch of acrylic figures sitting on top of the speakers. Music helps me focus on my writing, while the figures give me something to look at while my mind wanders for a while.

So, how is your progress? Are you keeping up? Or do you think you can push through to the end?

For those of us in the U.S. are Thanksgiving plans going to get in the way? Or do you have plans to work around it?

Day 19: Imagine if we still had to...

Imagine if we were still using Quills or Dip pens to write. This would be such a different experience to what we are used to today…(Okay, I’m kinda running out of things to write here…<g>)

Hope you are doing well on your journey. I see a couple of folks are struggling: keep going.

As Jess mentioned in another post: whether you write 50 words or the whole 50K, you have accomplished something substantial: you have put forth the effort to bring a new creative work into the world. And that’s something few people actually do, most only think about it without making any effort. Your effort is admirable.
