Books Of Loukas – The Publication Push

Leave a Comment / Announcements, Belem - Book Projects, Books of Loukas, General, Rupert - Book Projects /

One of the great weaknesses that Rupert Ramsgate has is a procrastination gene. (Along with a packrat gene). This results in extended gestation periods for any projects. Books of Loukas first appeared in nascent form as a sketch 6 years ago. It finally coalesced to a book series 5 years ago, and a draft book was created in the Spring of 2018. Since then, a lot of things have happened, including Covid-19, and progress has […]

I updated all of my current working projects, both fiction and non-fiction, to Scrivener 3 a few months ago. Scrivener 3 for Windows is more than just an update to Scrivener 1.

Like most conversion processes, the

Hiatus – Covid-19

Leave a Comment / General /

Well, this site has been very quiet for 3 months. There is a good reason for that. On 28th December last year I began to feel unwell, as if I had contracted influenza. After 2 days, I was running a fever yo-yoing between 99 and 102 Fahrenheit. However, the Tell that I noticed was that I had completely lost my sense of taste and smell. So, on January 6th, still with my fever yo-yoing, I
