Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving! I ate too much food, became immobile for a whole hour, and then spent the next five hours hunting for a shiny Ponyta on Pokémon Let’s Go Eevee. So I’m feeling pretty fulfilled. But ironically, on a day of appreciation and thankfulness, I found a silver lining in the […]

The End in Sight
So far so good. I’m on track to finish this chapter either tonight or tomorrow. Then I’ll be ready to jump right into the next one. That being said, the chapter I’m working on was already halfway done before I started writing again, so I guess we’ll see how well I fare next week. Earlier […]
We Back
It’s been a busy week of trying to focus on editing but I’m finally done. And now I can get back to cranking out the rest of the novel. Most likely 5-6 more chapters. Yay! The editing process was actually kinda rough. Almost every time I found something that didn’t agree with my current stylistic […]
Bouncing Back
I’m back in my writing groove! We did it! Yeah! Honestly, the whole experience feels much better. I’ve started off rereading from chapter one. Unsurprisingly, I found a lot of things that could’ve been written a little better, so I wrote them a little better. This is something that happens virtually every single time I […]
Maintaining Hope
Here’s my obligatory political post folks. I know this isn’t typically what you come here to read but it’s something I think needs to be said. TL;DR Don’t be afraid to make your voice heard. Please, please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote. Ya know, getting political has become […]
Originally…
I’ve been thinking a lot about original stories and how their life expectancy is pretty low nowadays. What is it that makes most people prefer remakes, sequels, and prequels more than completely original stories? Maybe it’s the mystery that turns people off, the possibility that might not be as good as something already successful like […]
I have tamed the Dragon
To my surprise, Dragon Con had a lot of accomplished authors. And they had some pretty great panels. I will admit, the first panel I attended wasn’t at all what I was expecting. Who would’ve thought a panel titled “The Pen & The Sword: Arming the Written Word” would turn out to be four military […]
A Game of Choices
At first, I was going to make this into a dream poem but I wanted to be more explicit in the description of this particular dream. What’s a Choice? I dreamt a dream I shouldn’t remember. A clever dream, really. A dream more easily forgotten than the next, yet remembered. If only slightly. In another […]
Learning and Stuff
Just wanted to say today that I think I’m finally out of my rut. I think I can finally get back to work for real this time, especially since the the kiddos are all back in school and now the library won’t be an ironically loud mess. That was part of the problem, but certainly […]
Destiny Islands
It’s been probably about a year since I posted this the first time. I’ve made a lot of changes since then and I guess I’m just trying to find out if there are still more changes that need to be made. I’ve said before that I think the first chapter is the most important for […]
