It has been a while since I’ve posted anything. Some fun stuff going on, so here are some updates.

I finished NaNoWriMo 2013 as a winner! What a fun challenge. Everyone should give it a try. If you have ever thought of writing a novel, start thinking about it now for the 2014 NaNoWriMo. Start roughing out an outline.

My NaNoWriMo masterpiece turned out pretty cool. I am now going back through and documenting all of the gaps in the story and documenting the timeline. After NaNoWriMo, I picked up the Aeon Timeline tool using the generous discount offer. It’s a pretty cool tool and hooks into Scrivener.

The timeline tool really helped me cement the flow of the story. In future projects, I can see this tool paying a very important role in the outlining process.

The story will get more time here as I get further into the rewrites and edits.

Some other time-sucks filling my include Forza 4 and the very cool RockSmith 2014 apps/games for xbox 360.

Enjoy!

Duolingo Milestone

I hit a numeric milestone in Duolingo yesterday, 300 days learning Spanish.

One of my Covid-19-keep-my-sanity-hobbies I decided to take on was learning Spanish. I started out really strong, and in the early days was spending an hour or more each day. After a couple of months, I started burning out, so I slowed down, and found a balance where I could still move forward, but not feel it was too much.

Boat Renovations

Since purchasing the boat, I’ve been focusing on internal renovations and minor updates.

The first big change was getting the v-berth updated. I took out a couple of small shelves, refinished the drawers, and made a key board and mounting rails. The biggest job was making the cushions.
