Welcome back. Thanks for coming by for this first in another week of posts. So, I realized . . . I do a lot of series. In fact, since I started posting every week day . . . I think every single post has been part of a series. It's getting a little exhausting. So... Continue Reading →
Monday, AM #4 – ON / OFF
So, this is probably the last Monday, AM. The series just isn't doing well, which is fine--I'll take another day to post whatever I want (currently just Friday), but this weekday posting gig requires me to make new series all the time, so I'll have a few Monday standards figured out before long. In the meantime, let's... Continue Reading →
PAX East 2017 – A Brief Summary of The Last Night on Earth
I'm closing out the week with another brief story from PAX. Only, this time, actually a story. One of the things I love about board games is the way they sometimes yield cohesive plots. Reading between the die rolls, you can find narratives that are accidentally perfect. And, because I love those stories, here's a... Continue Reading →
PAX East 2017 – The Road to Betrayal
So . . . posting from PAX . . . is a nightmare. It's not impossible though, so I thought I'd drop an easy post, at least. The easiest thing to write about? PAX. So, for tonight, I thought I'd share the best moments from my journey to PAX East 2017. A little bloggier than I... Continue Reading →
Monday, AM #3 – The PAX Rush
Welcome back, everyone. Another brief Monday, AM--made particularly short by the fact that my entire weekend was devoured by Breath of the Wild. I mean, I wrote and did a few other things, but when it came to going outside--catching Logan or Get Out, I passed. In my defense, I've always been a huge Zelda fan, so whatever. Sacrifices were...

Gallery of Strangers – Tattoo Mom
People watching. It's an unfortunate part of being a writer. Not too socially disruptive, but still weird. At least it makes me feel weird, what with my guilty conscience. Still, it's essential. As writers, we have to watch people, listen closely to how they speak, what they say. Not because we're stalkers, but because we need... Continue Reading →
Monday, AM #2 – John Wick and Underworldbuilding
Welcome back to Monday. This is the part where I reflexively say, "It's good to be back!" but it isn't, cause it's Monday. I did actually get my days off this week, so I'll get to spend the beginning of it comfortably doing posts and writing . . . although I also really want to... Continue Reading →
Dream Diary #1 – A Red Rust Door
Ending the week with a weird one here. A kind of spiritual successor to my dream diary tweets from ages ago. Again, as it happens pretty often on this blog, writing about this just feels right. And, although I'm not sure why, I'm going all "right" on this one; I'm doing it up. I am... Continue Reading →
Monday, AM #1 – My Everyday Jam
Hey there, and welcome back to my site for this first in a new series, Monday, AM, or Monday, About Me. The name says it all, really; every Monday, I'll post updates about my writing progress, along with any news from my weekend, including (of course) too-detailed retellings of weird experiences I had. The idea: to have a post each week... Continue Reading →
The Discovery Writer VS Chapter One
Hi there, and welcome to 2017. I know I'm a little late with that greeting, but I've been hanging back, trying to make sure I had some great news for an update. And I do . . . kind of. Maybe this has happened to you, maybe it hasn't. If it's the latter, I hope... Continue Reading →
