As some of you may have read on my Writing page or a few posts ago, this year I’m intending to write 20,000 words per month as part of a group of several writers in my area, 5,000 a month each to novels and to short stories.
I will be making these daily posts every day I actually get around to writing, to update my word count and talk about what I’ve been writing.
Hello and welcome; you’ve reached my writing page. Here, once such things become available, there will be descriptions of finished works (as well as works in progress), with links to anything that might become published. For now, this is just a page that’s here to remind me, and you, that I should be writing, and to inform you the reader of what should be appearing. If you’d like to nudge me even more sharply, or ask any questions, feel free to send me an email or an instant message by way of the Contact page.
Yes, as in twenty thousand — this is the number of words myself and a few others thought would be reasonable for a month (at least for a little bit). Eliza has been kind enough to put together a little site for the whole idea, complete with web-stickers when goals are completed. I will (hopefully) be adding stickers all year, right below this paragraph.
This is the root page of this particular domain. If you glance over to your right, you should see a few links to pages that might be of more interest to you.
If you’ve never been around here before, the blog may be a good starting place, or the “About the Author” page.
If you’d like to hear about my writing (or at times, lack thereof), head over to the Writing section.
If you’re interested in learning about something you (probably) didn’t previously know about, hop over to the PGP Public Key page and read up on OpenPGP and GnuPG, the GNU Privacy Guard — and maybe even start using them!
In any case, enjoy yourself and don’t hesitate to drop me a line — see the Contact page.
As part of my plan to get back to actually writing something, it seemed it might be appropriate to clear up (for me, at least, and possibly for others) what exactly that entails. Therefore:
Just in case the above title was a bit cryptic, this post is here to announce my new site and blog at http://www.ianmcorvidae.net and http://www.ianmcorvidae.net/blog/. For those of you reading this from LiveJournal, I’ll still be cross-posting everything for a good while yet (if not indefinitely), so don’t worry about that; then again, considering how much I tend to post on that blog, you probably weren’t worrying anyway.

Ian McEwen (the person writing this blurb and this blog) is an 18-year-old student currently living in Tucson, Arizona. Ian has some writerly aspirations that might well be blogged about here; other likely topics include various computer geekery, linguistics, books to read, sleep habits, or just about anything else. Stop by occasionally or often, or hook yourself up with the RSS feed, and enjoy! Ian is not the famed Ian McEwan of Atonement fame; you can find him here.
The picture you see on this page is a year or so old but mostly accurate; though I no longer sport that variety of disgusting goatee, and though I do not actually own any of the specific clothing in that picture, most everything else in terms of appearance is correct, and the picture quite accurately portrays my character. Background: My kitchen. Context: My section in choir wanted to do some variety of initiation, and this was my toll. Universal agreement: I needed to shave my legs, but other than that looked absolutely fabulous in a dress.
