Welcome back to Muse Tuesday. This week, I'm doing a little fanfiction. If you haven't heard of Warframe, it's a sci-fi, free-to-play online shooter, the selling point of which is that you're an insanely powerful space ninja--one of many known as "Tenno." As such, you wear a selection of armors called Warframes that adhere to certain motifs... 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...

Fantasy Fandom: The Legend of Zelda
I'm writing this on the morning of March 3rd, 2017. Blessed with the day off, I woke up early to wait for my local Best Buy to open. Because then, and only then, can I go pick up The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Sitting here, waiting, I decided to at least start a series that I've... 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 →
Games for Writers: No Man’s Sky
Wow. It has been forever since I've written one of these. And, of all games, I picked No Man's Sky, hands down the least disappointing game of 2016. Why, I remember no one being upset about this one. . . . So, disclaimer first: I know. I know that No Man's Sky was a huge, flaming disappointment.... Continue Reading →
Writer’s Workshop #1 – A Box of Discounted Chocolates
It's Fuck It Wednesday. What's that? Never heard of it? Well, let me enlighten you. Fuck It _____day is the day after Valentine's Day. A day when all of the romance is over, and what matters is that Valentine's Day chocolate is super discounted. And hey, maybe you're on a diet. But eh. Fuck it.... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo 2 – Day 30: Reflection
Well... I made it. Day 30. Somehow, even though I didn't struggle to write posts this time--even though I didn't spend hours finding writing spots, getting pictures, working on the MS, and posting afterward--I'm way more relieved now than I was at the end of 30 Days 1. I'm not sure why. The obvious answer would... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo 2 – Day 21: Expectation
30 Days 2 is starting to teach me things about myself as a writer. Primarily... I'm starting to realize that I have an issue with expectation. Well, expectation and gratification. I'm finding it harder and harder to actually feel gratified when I do any writing. At least for this novel. And that inability to feel productive... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo 2 – Day 19: No Escape
I managed to write today, although it was my first taste of getting home at 10PM. Yes, unfortunately, the Doubles Experiment is going to have to wait; the busy season has already reared its ugly head at work, and my schedule is already suffering. I only got to write for maybe 15 minutes on the job... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo 2 – Day 18: The Problem with Indulgence
I had a strange moment earlier, when I felt a spot of charming dialogue coming on . . . and I narrowed my eyes. The clouds had parted and, after a few hours of work, I actually got a moment to sit down with my notebook and work out a scene. I got a few hundred words in, when Sydney... Continue Reading →
