  • “Carefully, slowly, he stood, knowing that the world would spin crazily around him when he did. He sucked in a breath to keep himself afloat in the swirling vertigo and counted to ten. He opened his eyes and exhaled. He was dizzy, nauseous, and he’d started to sweat, but he was standing and ready to…

  • RoW80 Round 4 – Begin!

    “‘…Once a Battarack, always a Battarack, Taluin. So please. Let us help you.’” It’s that time again, ladies and gentlemen! Today starts Round 4 of the spectacular Round of Words in 80 Days! For my readers who might not be familiar with RoW80 (which seems impossible because it probably comprises of about 25% of what…

  • Getting Your Head in the Game.

    I have not had a very successful last few days. Some things in my life have been a little screwy, and the stress inherent in those things have prevented me from dedicating myself to my craft in the way I had intended. But that’s okay. Life happens, and then you just pick your ambitions back…

  • Wow, it’s hard to believe that it’s already Wednesday. I’m not entirely sure where the first part of the week ended up, but, as a result, I feel as though I don’t have much to report compared to Sunday. To my utter delight, Serpent in a Cage continues to be on the forefront of my…

  • Thanks to Magic of Ice Cream, I found my way a little bit ago to A Round of Words in 80 Days in the middle of a session, so I was holding back, biding my time, watching the progress of the others, knowing I really couldn’t jump right in with a big project until the…

  • Dedication Working!

    In the past few days, I’ve come to the oh-so-startling realization that if you dedicate yourself and make yourself do something, you will get it done. What a novel concept, right? I’m notoriously bad for setting myself a goal or saying I’ll do something and, if it’s relatively unimportant or won’t affect anyone, I’ll let…

  • It appears as thought I might be seeking out some new goals while keeping the old. This is either terribly ambitious and will be pretty productive for me, or I am clearly insane. I’ll lean toward a precious combination of the both. Ben over at Magic of Ice Cream introduced me the other day to…
