Anything new in my life and work or occasionally in the news that’s related to me, my books, or the people I wrote about in “Lifeliner” a biography.
BiblioCrunch and Twitter
When having trouble with a company, go to Twitter. So it was with BiblioCrunch when I had a tiny problem: no response to my support request email within the 24-hour window they had promised on their site. I tweeted my plaint and expected nada, for it was on Saturday, usually when all but the largest…
Website Adjustments
Regulars to my website may notice some tweaks to my sidebar. I’ve replaced the Amazon carousel widget with a new plugin created for authors to help us showcase our books and with one click of a cover, it will show readers where to buy. I’ve included my four main books: Lifeliner, She, Concussion is Brain…
NaNoWriMo 2012
It was an awesome, draining NaNoWriMo month of writing, studying, reading, and barely any time for posting. Once again, I used my Google+ profile to post on my novel-writing progress during National Novel Writing Month 2012, which for the first time ever did not follow an even course. For your eye-bugging-out pleasure to find out…
A New Direction Post Concussion
It’s not real yet, not in my mind anyway. Maybe when I crack open the tome, or more likely read the first email, I'll realise I have actually taken a step in a new direction. To backtrack: way back when, I obtained a B.Sc. in psychology. I made it tough for myself by doing a…
Gamma Brain Biofeedback: I’m in Good Canadian Soccer Company
My stress levels were high today. Memories. Writing worries. The usual. When do memories get good again? When do they stop revolving around loss and grief like a non-stop flushing toilet? But I digress. I still wanted … no, maybe because of the stress, I craved the challenge of brain biofeedback today. Making the thresholds…
Gamma Brainwave Biofeedback: Posture is Important
Posture. It isn’t just for looking good. It seemingly affects your physiology too. I was having real trouble with my muscle tension (EMG) in today’s brain biofeedback (or neurofeedback) session. It was reminiscent of the old days, during my original stint with this therapy. As a result, I wasn’t doing too well. My heart rate…
Gamma Wave Biofeedback: Brain Training Begins
First full training session today. Phew. It was hard. To backtrack: I’ve restarted brain biofeedback, but this time I’m training a brainwave frequency that isn’t usually trained, the 40Hz gamma brainwave. It’s all experimental. As my trainer said: “I’ve never done this frequency before.” But I figure if I’m going to recover as fully as…
Camp NaNo: The Final Push
I got a little antsy last week. First I’d gone into Camp NaNo word count deficit, then I’d recovered and gotten ahead, but then I took a look at this week’s schedule and went Eek! How was I ever going to write and keep up with all that I’d scheduled? There’s a reason you’re supposed…
