Prelude

Welcome to Dice With the Universe!

Generally, I am going to put some thoughts from my life here. They will usually have to do with my translation work or with my writing. Your comments are welcome.

Thanks.

The title of the blog, for those interested, is a part of a paraphrase of Albert Einstein's words -- "God doesn't play dice with the universe." The words originally meant Einstein's scepticism about Quantum Physics (that gives a statistical chance of an event occurring), but I use this phrase as a general guideline to life. Things don't happen randomly. If we want to succeed we need to make it happen ourselves.

Welcome again. Enjoy your stay.

Writing

I've been having a rather productive week in writing. Which is great. I had something of a writers' block for a long while, but, hopefully, this is over now. I am also arranging the submission package for an MFA program at UNO. I am not sure I will end up going, but it looks like an interesting program. So, yesterday I wrote a self assessment letter of my writing. It got me thinking about what my goals really are, what is stopping me etc. It doesn't happen often. Maybe it should. Makes you sharper.
