Ah, finally! We are in a new month! I’m the type of person that sets a lot of arbitrary goals for myself, so waltzing into June means starting a new novel and doing a little bit of financing on my bank account. I understand why I’m excited for the former, but it’s interesting how psyched…

You know, I was thinking that it’s pretty amazing that May is almost over. Usually, at this part of the month, I’m looking forward to the next one to arrive, because I’m ready to start up on a new novel, having gotten a little bored with the current one since I have a pathetically short…

As I’m keeping a good, steady pace on this month’s novel, as the month of May begins creeping to a close, I’ve been putting some thought into what June’s novel will be. I’ve had a few idea pop up; the most persistent ones have been making another attempt at The Unknown Scourge, the book that…

My thoughts have been turned, once again, to how much time I actually allot to writing. The answer, always, will be a resounding not enough, and sometimes I wonder if there’s anything I could be doing to close the gap between not enough and just about enough, or at least lessen the gap since I’m…

It’s been a while since I’ve woken up to remember a dream that could be turned into a story; last night, I finally had a few, but there was only one, the last one before I woke, that really stuck with me and could be interesting to try to develop more. I find it interesting…
