Austin L. Wiggins of https://writingsbyender.com was kind enough to post a review of The Warden of Everfeld: Memento on his site!
Go check it out, and his other book reviews, short fiction, thought pieces.
My favorite line from his review: “This book is deeply layered and impressively self-accurate.”
Thanks, Austin!
Writing introductory sections is hard. I struggle to write intros to my blog posts sometimes.
Okay, a lot of times.
But I’ve picked up on one key way to introduce characters to the reader in a new story: introduce your character in their element.

This week flew by. It’s one of those weeks where I feel like I did a lot, but I have to stop and think about it.
We brought Nugget to a craft festival outside Baltimore last Saturday. He was much beloved by many people who stopped to ask us about him. Apparently, it’s “brave” of us to take a 6-week-old in public. He mostly slept on my chest, wrapped in one of those backpack-style harnesses.

As you might have guessed, I couldn’t write that much this week, but I did manage to make some moves in cool/interesting directions.
Continue reading “Friday Write-Day: Moral Victories?”Goals are funny. Sometimes, when they’re outside of your direct control, it’s better not to pay too close attention to them.

Yep, I don’t think I wrote much more than 150 words this week.
I’ve been doing a lot of pondering, and also getting my revised KDP manuscript for WoEM in order, so that’s kept me pre-occupied. But, I still feel like some cool things are coming.
