I have spent far too much time this morning trying to decide what to write in this little space today. I wondered if it was just me, if I was just feeling uninspired this morning, but I realized, after a bit more consideration, that it’s mostly just the usual weekend rut. Working retail, my schedule…

“‘It’s hard to scrape a respectable living out of the burned cinders of a fallen empire,’ said Knolan quietly, before he lifted his chin to cling to whatever dignity remained after a statement like that.” Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my last post of A Round of Words in 80 Days for Round 3! Did…

“‘I didn’t run’ Knolan said, his voice firm with insistence, but his eyes were searching her face for forgiveness. ‘Serene asked me to take Locke and make him safe. To escape so that he could survive. So that’s what I did. It was the last thing Serene ever asked of me, and, for eighteen years,…

I have two exciting things to write about in this blog today, and the first I wasn’t sure if I should bother with since it doesn’t necessarily have to do with writing, but it does have to do with the writer’s sanity. Allow me to proudly and happily declare that it is Friday, which means…

“My books aren’t trying to fathom the mysteries of human existence. I’m an entertainer.” – Bernard Cornwall. When I wake up in the morning and decide to do a Writer Quote post, I usually don’t have a particular quote in mind. I go searching through various and sundry snippets from writers and writing enthusiasts until…
