Man did April blow up in my face. If you follow this blog, you’ll know I had an incredibly clean, specific plan for April. A plan that started with a content edit of War of Exiles, the book I’ve been working on since 2005 through various phases of my writing career. A plan that was... Continue Reading →
The 3 Great Fiction Sins
First, apologies for taking so long to get another post out; things are a bit rough at the moment and the article I finished last week and was intending to post just wasn’t up to snuff (and I didn’t want to waste anyone’s time with a post that didn’t offer readers anything). I was going... Continue Reading →
Louis Santiago’s Fantasy Story Stats – Week 5: A Conclusion & Using the Stats
Man, did this one take longer than it was supposed to. What you’ve found is the final part of a look at my Fantasy Story Stats. Because, after four solid weeks of looking at each in-depth, I think a serious refocus on how these should be used is in order. And the best way to... Continue Reading →
On Choosing the Right Soundtrack
Last time was pretty serious. Well, maybe not serious--maybe more like incredibly straight forward and academic. And <em>boring.</em> So I thought I’d get a little loose this time—talk about something I like, with the stipulation that I tell you at least twice that it’s something I like. And that would be assigning a soundtrack for... Continue Reading →
The Turning Point
I've danced around the topic a few times on this site, careful to not talk about the actual experience or give any details about it, but, at this point, I don't see a reason to hide that I work at Borders. I'm still not going to talk about working there or any of the people... Continue Reading →

The Death of Ultimate Spider-Man… By the Amazing Spider-Man’s Hand
After work today, I met my good friend @GentlemanMonstr for some Five Guys and a stop at Midtown Comics. As the undisputed overlord of the comic world (in my opinion), the Gentleman had something obscure in mind. For me, it was the exact opposite: Ultimate Spider-Man #160. In all honesty, it was something I wasn't looking forward... Continue Reading →
The PDF That Just Wouldn’t Die
I'm not sure how it is for you, but Photoshop projects always take longer than I expect. I have an idea and think, I can get that done in an hour tonight. But then I get in front of my computer and realize I just can't edit a part of the project the way I'd intended... Continue Reading →

Getting Closer
I realized I have something time sensitive to say, so I have to try to belt it out before that company I just mentioned arrives. If you haven't already heard about it, you should know about the Met's Get Closer photography contest. It's not a huge deal; you photograph a piece from the permanent collection... Continue Reading →
