- (2015-05-09) Setting up a writing project on GitLab
One advantage of writing novels in Markdown is that I can use Git to manage to projects. However, having only a local Git on my laptop is risky, so having a remote Git repository helps preventing losing data. Here is how to get a project up on GitLab.
Categories:
- (2015-07-12) Author Intrusion for Node.js

After a rough start of the previous week, I got a chance to really focus on Author Intrusion (AI). Despite the rather significant amount of check-ins and coding, I wasn't quite able to get to a really good "show off" point. Instead, this week ended up being a black triangle (significant progress but nothing visible).

- (2017-05-24) State of writing with Markdown, YAML, and Git 2017
A year ago, at one of my more successful panels at WisCon, I was on a panel with K. Tempest Bradford and Kristine Smith talking about writing processes. I got to see a lot of cool gadgets but I also got a chance to talk about my processes of writing with Markdown, YAML, and Git.

Categories:
- (2020-11-20) Website Update
I've switched the generator used to create this website from Cobblestone to Statiq, a much different type of static site generator. With this change came a revamp of the site's appearance, one that is far less graphical than before, but it will allow for some future plans.
