Burst of Creativity

Thanks to the joys of wireless networks, laptops, and the rare conjunction of having a free evening, enough energy to do something about it, and enough brainpower to remember what all I want to do, I’m sitting in bed next to Steph (who is reading) and getting some bits and scraps of stuff done.


[Steph: You're not blogging again, are you?]


Just with blog entries alone, I’ve got a list:



  • Write up a review of Wil Wheaton’s book Just a Geek (short version: buy it, read it, love it).

  • Write an essay about whether political bloggers are contributing to or helping contravene the blue state/red state divide in America.

  • Write an essay about the song “New Favorite” by Allison Krauss and Union Station, centering around the lyrics as a metaphor for the individual relationship with God.

  • Write up an article about the symbolic/elemental system I’ve been mulling, based around my thoughts about Christianity being a relationship.

  • Write an essay about my stance on homosexuality and gay marriage.

And then there’s the stuff notblog-related:



  • Finish my adventure for Steve Jackson Games.

  • Finish building the new Solaris proxy server.

  • Build the new Zope server.

  • Move websites to Zope.

  • Get Dad’s website finished.

  • Redo thecabal.org with the new logo I designed.

  • Redo the church website.

  • Finish up the appendix of tools and post it to the Cookbook blog.

  • Outline a fiction proposal for the Ten Worlds.

  • Produce an outline for the book on relationships that Stephanie and I keep talking about.

  • Produce an outline for the novel that’s chewing on my head (more about that in the next blog entry).

  • Write down the various ideas that I’ve had for books, short stories, or novels, and get them into a central place so I don’t lose them.

[Devin: I told you, dear reader, that I want to be an author. See how many of my action items involve writing? Maybe now you'll believe me.]


Bleh. Now I’m tired enough to go to bed. Not that I will, of course.


Currently listening to: “Ghost in This House,” Allison Krauss and Union Station
