Hello darkness, my old friend…
I would die for your slightest whim,
And I don’t care if it’s a sin.
Ask me to Sink or Ask me to Swim. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #18 – Too Much”
Haiku Sunday – Lake
“Lake”
Early yellow light
brightens over the ripples,
throwing fleeting calm.

Saturday of Book Reviewing – Six Questions Of Socrates
To quote: “Socrates believed that virtue was not to be unearthed primarily in past teaching, but rather was something that always could be more fully discovered; and that one of the best ways to go about doing this was to hold dialogues with one’s peers.” – pg. 253
Written in 2004 by Christopher Phillips, author of similarly themed ‘Socrates Cafe’, this collection of sit-down discussions takes place among a diverse sampling of the human race, all of whom share one key characteristic in common: a willingness to be honest and open in the pursuit of truth.

Friday Write-Day: Camp NaNoWriMo Returns!
As I talked about last week, it’s back to the grindstone for me in the wake of WoEM’s pre-order release.
I’d like to make some headway on my second novel, The Warden of Everfeld: Legacy, and I just happen to have the perfect opportunity to do so: Camp NaNoWriMo 2018! Continue reading “Friday Write-Day: Camp NaNoWriMo Returns!”
Misplaced Missive #15 – Expect The Worst; Hope For The Best
Oh wow. Ok, this is a strange one to look back on: this was my first attempt at playing with set structure. Notice the 4 – 6 – 4 – 6 – 4 line count of the stanzas. I think I tried this out a fair bit after this one, too, but it’s weird to be faced with the original.
One bad decision; One wrong choice
Followed by another and others,
Pointed out by faltering conscience.
Will it even bother? Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #15 – Expect The Worst; Hope For The Best”
Misplaced Missive #17 – Permanence
I don’t know how to tell you:
How this reads wrong.
You’re expecting something forever long,
Something permanent carved in fate,
But I don’t want the same.
It’s not my name
Engraved beside yours. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #17 – Permanence”
Exploring Úr’Dan: Everfeld (with a bonus!)
It’s hard for even me to believe, but I have somehow neglected to explore Everfeld with you all, the setting of The Warden of Everfeld: Memento.
However, I think that was for the best, because I have a very special surprise to help you all step into this world. Continue reading “Exploring Úr’Dan: Everfeld (with a bonus!)”
Haiku Sunday – Humid
“Humid”
Moisture weighs over,
sqeezing the air like a sponge,
and the showers come.

Friday Published-Day: The Work Continues
This has been a pretty big week, if only symbolically.
I officially made The Warden of Everfeld: Memento available for pre-order on Kindle before both the Kindle and print versions are published on July 18.
That’s a pretty big deal for me, anyway.
Other than that, I’ve done a lot of mental gear-turning over what comes next, both before WoEM is released to the world and after it’s out.
