I dare say I’m starting to get back into the swing of writing.

WordPress Is Starting To Annoy Me…
A modest rant about how my preferred CMS is starting to tick me off.
Leap Of The Tiger
It’s finally time to get things back in action here.
What’s Coming For September 2020 On Xadara
Time to enter another month of what has to be one of, if not the single craziest year of our lives. September 2020 is looking to be another wild time in the real world and as an escape from all of that I’m happy to say I’m about ready to get the ball rolling, as […]
Let’s Get This Place Going Again
Right, I’ve spent pretty much all of June taking a break – as my buddy Prince Watercress put it, kind of a “lost weekend” situation, but an intentional one of me just not caring about writing stuff. I’ve put out a few things here and there, but have otherwise been slacking very intentionally, resulting in […]
The Only Articles I Truly Regret Writing
If you’re any kind of creative individual you will likely relate to the fact that, inevitably, something you create will become something you wind up regretting. It’s extremely rare for anyone who makes anything to not have at least something they feel was a mistake, wasn’t good as it was released, or otherwise simply doesn’t […]
You Clearly Didn’t Actually Read The Article, Did You?
Hello there. If you’re reading this, it means one of two things — you either saw this post on my site / shared somewhere on social media and decided to click it, or I intentionally shared it with you for a good reason — you replied, in some way, to a post sharing one of […]
Has Scheduling Improved My Writing? I Think So.
Ah yes, another one of those oddly meta “blog entries about blogging.” I’m mostly writing this one because, as with most of December, it’s been a bit of a long day and I don’t feel like cranking out anything more substantial. In any case, over the past few months I’ve set myself up with a […]
We Now Return To Your Regularly Scheduled Program (Dec 2019 Edition)
Late last week I wrote about an unscheduled break I had taken from writing on this site. With today being Monday I, of course, wanted to get back on schedule with writing. The problem is, with this being the holiday season, today proved to be more busy than I expected and I’m only now, at […]
About That Post Scheduling Plan
As mentioned in the “What’s Coming For October 2019” article yesterday, I’m planning on a Monday through Friday schedule for posts this month, on a trial basis at least, to see how that affects things. There’s a few reasons for this, which I’ll go over here. Perhaps other bloggers may enjoy my insights and thought […]
The Home Stretch Of The “Entry A Day” Challenge
It’s September 27th, the tail end of September and the end of my self imposed “Entry A Day” challenge where, regardless of the content, I have to publish at least one entry to this site every day in September. So far I’ve had some close calls, writing and publishing some shorter articles within minutes of midnight, […]
How I Grew To Love The Typewriter
It’s well known that I like to go out to thrift shops around in Memphis hunting for things that may be useful, or otherwise interesting to own . While I was out on one of these hunts in late 2016 I stumbled across something that I originally thought was some kind of older computer printer. […]
The Past And Future Of Xadara
As I’m sure a regular reader will be able to tell, the past year has been quite an interesting one for Xadara. Not only did it mark the first full year of nearly daily writing, which I’m almost certain resulted in nearly 400 articles (in and of itself quite the achievement, I think) but it […]
A Blogging Backlog
Anyone who attempt at least some kind of regular content creation has certainly run into the issue of simply having too much to publish, and running into a backlog. Hell, I’ve had to just abandon some planned posts thanks to them running so far behind that I just never bothered to actually write and publish […]
