It’s been a while since I’ve written a real post. At least it feel that way to me. I thought providing a bit more world-building info would be a nice way to ease myself back into a more regular writing/blogging routine.
As I discussed in the last installment of this series, the peoples living in the southern half of Úr’Dan are far more diverse than their neighbors to the north. Continue reading “Exploring Úr’Dan: Bargers and Southerners”
Yesterday, I read Trace-Blogs’ personal experience post about drinking and the social ramifications of her giving up alcohol. I felt an insuppressible urge to ramble immediately after, so I recommend reading her post first, because this is what I came up with in direct response: Continue reading “Re: Sobriety Is An Island (But Not the Fun Tropical Kind)”
We have internet! I took a half day today so Verizon could come set up our modem and our handyman could work on another repair project.
I am now writing to you from my (hand-me-down) couch in our new house. Continue reading “Internet Update… from Home!”
Curiosity and fear warring within;
By telling you the truth,
Tell me:
Did I commit an irredeemable sin? Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #7 – Curiosity and Fear”
Shatter the soulstone,

One Tree Hill 1×02 – ‘The Places You Have Come To Fear The Most’
It’s been about a decade since I first watched One Tree Hill. The main characters ranged from shallow donkeys to deep, moral artists, you know, once you looked past their knee-jerk reactions to all the crazy drama. The art may have varied, but… integrity was at the heart – in their hearts and in their actions. They faltered and fell, and then, rose up from the ashes of their mistakes. I’m trying to do the same. The following quote struck a chord with me and I thought to share it with you folks: Continue reading “What I’m (Re)Watching Weekend Note”
I do not yet have interwebs in the new abode, and verizon isn’t coming until next week to hook it up.
No big deal. It’s been kind of nice sitting at home with PW and the pup listening to 98 Rock as we unpack, read, or eat data on our phones. Did you know the radio still broadcasts every night? And it’s free!!!
I was literally about to turn off my computer at work when I remembered that I had not scheduled anything for today. I haven’t missed a post in I don’t know how long (it’s probably not as long as I’m letting myself believe), and I’ll be damned if I miss one now.
Manuscript: Beta has officially surpassed 190,000 words, and I still have a chapter+ to write.

Emergency Whiskey
It’s a bit of a wait and see,
A watch and be,
One grain of struggling sand,
In a stranded hourglass. Continue reading “Moonlit Musing – Alcohol Cures”
For those of you who are a) fans of good storytelling and b) fans of A Song of Ice and Fire and HBO’s Game of Thrones, season 7 was probably disappointing. Without ranting on about it (today), I’ll just say that it was poorly written.
Jason Concepcion of the “Binge Mode” podcast on TheRinger.com has perfectly summed up my feelings on the season, and the weight that fantasy stories carry as a whole. Continue reading “Jason Concepcion on Why We Love Fantasy Stories”
