Posted on June 22, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

(Math was off in original title.) This was the last full week of school, which means homestretch.  Can’t say with certainty that I’m going to make it in one piece.  Not only work is beating me down, but the personal … Continue reading →

Goal Post: Brain Be Fogging All Week

Posted on March 9, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

Does the Hippocratic Oath Exist in Fiction?

Posted on February 14, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

Thoughts on 2023

Posted on December 27, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

I’m tempted to leave this post as the above.  This started off as a rough year, took a slight turn in some direction, made an abrupt spiral, went up a bit, and then managed to go south and north at … Continue reading →

Goal Posts: I Survived . . . Did My Arm Fall Off?

Posted on December 2, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

The big victory was that I finished writing Darwin & the Beast Collector.  I had a lot of trouble with the finale since I had Darwin leave the area a little too early.  That had to be fixed and then the … Continue reading →

Goal Post: Not a Day Without Drama

Posted on September 30, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

Drama might be an exaggeration.  Yet, every day since last Saturday has had something big going on.  That’s why I feel like I’ve lived a month within the last 7 days.  Doesn’t help that the looming ‘life event’ is set … Continue reading →
