Well, guys, I’m back from camp, and, in theory, I can rev up my engines, or some metaphor that makes sense. Last week we talked about my writing journal and also how it’s July and my word for the year,
Ah, Summer
I hate summer. Sorry. I really do. It’s hot, and I despise being hot. There’s no rhyme or reason to the days, there’s too much going on, there’s too much going on and yet it’s too hot to do anything…
Stories I’d Like to Write: Fantasy That’s Really Scifi
Okay! This is the last one of these for now. I love fantasy that is high fantasy, but as you get further into the book or series, hints start to be dropped. Ruins that sound familiar, or hints that there

Help Me Pick a Cover!
Hello again, squiders! Every so often, over at Turtleduck Press, we pull off the older free short stories, and then I gather mine up and release them in a short story collection. The first one, The Short of It, came
WriYe and Organization
Oof, why is May going so fast? Seriously. Ahhhhhhhh Anyway. It’s time for the monthly prompt from WriYe, which is about writing organization, something I am alternately very good at and also sometimes terrible at. How do you keep your
