    Over at Frame Tale, Kate did a challenge post that she had come across that I just had to give a stab at myself. I love these little games, where you get the chance to showcase a little bit of your work. It’s also pretty useful for those days when you don’t have much else…

  • An Autumnal Antholgy Contest.

    After giving it some thought, I’ve decided that I’m going to go ahead and do it. I’m going to hold a writing contest. This thought seems new and strange to me, though, really, it shouldn’t, since I produced an anthology for my writing group in college, though that wasn’t so much of a contest as…

  • And So It Settles…

    Have you ever gotten caught up in a whirlwind of activities and then, finally, when the wind stopped and the dust settled, you were left standing there, not sure what to do with yourself without that driving force of chaos propelling you in every direction at breakneck speed?

  • “Locke grunted, trying to hold down his irritation. ‘Men lie, Majani,’ he said, ‘and quite often, and that’s why I ask. You didn’t honestly believe us to just blindly follow anyone with enough gold into caves and secret dungeons, do you?’” I wasn’t sure if I was going to pull off a check-in post today,…

  • A little while ago, I proposed an idea that would spark up some interest in what’s intended to be my next WIP, Serpent in a Cage. Already, I’ve done a post talking about the geography of the world that SiaC kicks off, but I had mentioned character interviews on the blog where readers can also…

  • Some days, you just can’t seem to think of something to write. Well…this statement is not necessarily true. Thankfully, I’m starting my two days off to focus on writing very well, in that I have a very strong drive to really pound out some words on my various WIPs. I also have a few ideas…

  • “Thankfully, Taluin had enough compassion and empathy to know what he meant without him having to say. ‘Oh, Locke,’ she said, her voice catching, breaking in her throat. ‘You were her world.’” So, some of you may have been reading about my recent awesomeness revolution lately; some of you may not. In a nutshell, life…

  • The Awkward Blogger.

    It is a pretty well established fact that a great deal of writers in the world are awkward and insecure about themselves.
