“Noon”
Can it still be called
midday when I’ve just risen?
That seems dishonest.

15 on the 15th: Florida – Party in the city where the heat is on…
…All night, on the beach ’till the break of dawn “Welcome to Miami”
Does anyone else think the majority of all crazy ish happens in The Sunshine State? From bath salt zombies to sinkholes this state boasts some quality chaos. Don’t worry though: the music, food and beaches help even the scales of awesome. So here goes with that first one:
Anberlin – Feel Good Drag
Unfortunately, these guys called it quits in 2014. Luckily, they left us with some stellar tunes before they went. Continue reading “15 on the 15th: Florida – Party in the city where the heat is on…”
Exploring Úr’Dan: The Southern Half
In my first three posts in this series, I discussed the general aspects of my world-building, such as the language and the mythology. Then, I delved a little bit deeper into the geography and peoples of the northern half of Úr’Dan, providing some insight into the the people and landscapes seen in The Warden of Everfeld: Memento.
Now, I think it’s time we visit the southern half of Úr’Dan. Continue reading “Exploring Úr’Dan: The Southern Half”
A Philosophy of Ice and Fire
Season 7 of Game of Thrones premiers in five days (!), and I for one am stoked. A lot has been made of the philosophies one can glean from these stories, so I wanted to give my own thoughts.
The ongoing argument is that George R.R. Martin is a nihilist and created these stories to beat his readers over the head with tragedy and suffering.
I disagree, and I will use this post to explain why.

But no love. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #86 – Moon”
Haiku Sunday – Shaft
“Shaft”
Burning eye through the leaves,
one last heated breath reaching
to stave off the night.

Friday Write-Day: What Comes After the Writing?
Wow, has it already been two weeks? The last two weeks have felt hectic, likely because they sort of were. PW and I have been house-shopping. We thought we had found the one, but our inspector turned up some unforeseen issues, so we’re bringing in more experts to have a look.
As you can imagine, this has occupied my time and mind-space for the last few weeks. But the writing continues, and moves forward! Continue reading “Friday Write-Day: What Comes After the Writing?”
The Ultra-Secret First Draft – Total Reveal!
I just finished reading the first draft of Jessie’s first novel, and I’m going to reveal everything about the novel against her wishes say as little as possible to avoid her furious flailing.
Jessie, in advance, I apologize. I knew you would not let me do this without your prior approval, so I had to be sneaky. Continue reading “The Ultra-Secret First Draft – Total Reveal!”
