Blue Moon. That’s the rare second full moon in a month. Pantsing. That’s what NaNoWriMo calls writing done without an outline. By the seat of your pants. I haven’t gone full pantsing before. It’s a rare thing I do. I felt a spiritual memoir germinate in me during the summer. I wasn’t sure what that…

Graduating to New Reading Level
The book I finished reading yesterday is the last one I time and recorded to the minute. I’m graduating to the next level of returning to pre-injury reading when it was as part of my life as breakfast, lunch, and dinner are. From today’s book on, I’m scheduling my reading sessions as a 15 to…

New Website Feature!
Working Towards A Concussion Website When I wrote Concussion Is Brain Injury back in 2012, I reserved domains to create a website dedicated to pulling together all the information on concussion, using my book as a springboard. Due to the usual problems associated with brain injury, I failed in doing so, though I did try…
Gamma Update and Changes
I’ve been using gamma brainwave audiovisual entrainment since April with the Mind Alive’s DAVID Delight Pro device. On May 18, I switched it up to gamma 38-42Hz on Mondays and Fridays and SMR/gamma on Tuesdays and Thursdays and maintained the effect. My writing and photography work went down because I began using my cognitive energy…
Website Work Occupies, Distracts from COVID-19
Summer arrives and so does NaNoWriMo! Time to work on my website. Meanwhile, I’m still figuring out this ShopHERE stuff. Lesson one: I’m really not a business person. It takes a hell of a lot of stamina and as much tolerance for rejection as a writer. Well, not rejection, being ignored. I think I prefer…
Fanship is On!
Piracy. Capricious review takedowns. Nasty lies in author wars. Real fans being drowned out by haters and unable to know if their money is going to their fave authors. This is the current state of selling books on the internet, particularly on the virtual bookstore that shall not be named. Enter blockchain and a bright…
Appearing on Lindamood-Bell Radio
I’m pleased to tell you all I was interviewed for Lindamood-Bell radio, a weekly podcast about personal experiences with their courses, research on their methods, and education. Being a student with a brain injury, I wasn’t sure I’d regain my pre-concussion book reading. Lindamood-Bell not only evaluated me fully, unlike the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, they…

On 13 April 2020, I began a single subject study into audiovisual entrainment of gamma brainwaves at 38 to 42Hz. The ideal gamma brainwave frequency one wants is 40Hz. I finished it yesterday, 10 May 2020. Today, I present the results of four weeks of this study. Results I measured the effect of gamma 38…
