In addition to The Stupid Project, I started working on what can only be called a fan fiction, although I can’t say I’m a fan of the original work. If I persist in it, I may post it on the other front.

No clever alternatives to the current layout. I’ve been distracted by a new COVID outbreak at work, and by the nasal inflammation of stuffing the test swabs up my nose. Still negative, hoorah.

Also, hoera for 5 May– Liberation Day for the Netherlands.

I haven’t thought of anything clever to do with this progress report when progress is diffuse and mostly internal. There is progress of that sort, happily, although the fortress of United States tax requirements is not only unbreached but as yet unassaulted. I’ve realized that I can probably get some advice from the provincial Writers Guild and possibly even from the Horror Writers Association, as I’m a member of both.

I just have to… you know… do something that involves someone who isn’t me. After two years of glorious enforced stand-offishness, I’m rather out of practice with that stuff.

That’s pretty blank. Maybe I’ll rethink this format change.

11 April 12 April 13 April 14 April	Faffing about with my projected self-publishing foolishness.	A vast and endless stream, apparently	Montblanc 32 PenBBS 487 Pelikan M600 Pelikan 140	Montblanc Racing Green TWSBI Royal Purple Diamine Syrah Herbin Bleu Calanque

“Faffing about with my projected self-publishing foolishness” is, it appears, going to be the default setting for a while. Illustrations are being illustrated. I’ve set up a writer account on Kindle, Apple and a couple of others. I’m looking at local sourcing for the printing of physical copies.

So… the next few updates are likely to be down to three columns, just to avoid repetetive redundancy reiteration.

Also– day off tomorrow, and I need to relax, so there’s probably no film appearing after this.

Today’s pen is a nod to the North American tradition of wearing a green thing on St. Patrick’s Day. I also whipped up a stupid thing to put onto a social media header for the day: Godzilla vs. Begorrah!

As long as Jet Jaguar or Minya don’t show up, it’s bound to be good
