Started working on a blog after observing that I haven't made nearly the dent in the Rationalsphere that I feel I could if I actually wrote stuff instead of just commented on other people's stuff. I'll link the blog when it has more than a couple of posts.

Wrote more than 10,000 words of my novel since January 1. The goal for the novel is 80,000 words by the ends of 2014, which I have been beeminding. I have been writing mostly in chunks of 250 to 500 words late in the evening, well after my cognitive limit for the day is exhausted, a few days a week. 500 words is really a paltry amount, barely a couple of paragraphs. Regardless, I have managed to limp along for two and a half months in this fashion and the book is actually going as planned, so I am somewhat validating my proof-of-concept that a decent novel really can be written in tiny fragments of time crammed in here and there, between a job and caring for two babies. Editing will probably be another matter, but that will happen when I have a more flexible schedule, by design.
