When you start a new series. I wanted to start a new series, but I don't feel ready to start it yet. I think my backlog is weighing on my mind and preventing me from moving forward. Of course, it's not mission impossible. I just have 8000 words to write…

When you're alone. Last week, I was able to enjoy a few days away with only my computer equipment as company. In fact, I was alone for a relatively short period of time. First and foremost, I believe that loneliness is also relative. You have to differentiate between being alone…

When you look for sleep. In my previous post, I mentioned a change in my sleeping habits. I think it's strange that sleep is becoming a bigger part of my daily routine, but I'm doing a lot less physical work during the day. Not to mention that all that separates…

When you're still gliding. I'm continuing my automatic writing process and I've realized that as I'm writing this post, I've completely lost the catching up I had been doing for the past few weeks. The explanation is quite simple, I would say. I have been very busy and I realize…

In the Windows operating system, the keyboard shortcut CTRL-Left or CTRL-Right usually moves the cursor to the next space character. This means that if…

When you glide. I'm going to keep going with my automatic writing streak. Apostrophes are also a minor keyboard problem. For some reason, like the cedilla, they come at the wrong time. As a consequence, I have to go back and correct the typo. But what is the most efficient…

When you fly freestyle. Today, I feel like doing a little automatic writing. It's interesting, except for correcting typos, to see how well our brains are able to spit out words that come to mind. In such an exercise, you can realize a multitude of facts that would normally go…

When you think of the next ones. This is the twenty-sixth in a series of posts reflecting on the general decline of civility. These posts should be read in order of publication. Starting with number six, for example, would make no sense to the reader. Happy reading! If we return…

When we do without. This is the twenty-fifth in a series of posts reflecting on the general decline of civility. These posts should be read in order of publication. Starting with number six, for example, would make no sense to the reader. Happy reading! The last post could sound environmentalist,…
