Public Service Announcement: RSPC Will be Migrating

On By Steven D'AdamoIn On Storytelling, Writers - Steve D'AdamoLeave a comment

It’s just time. I’ve been running both this website and EveningSatellite.com, our book imprint, for almost two years, and I’ve felt more and more like we didn’t need two websites.

So this blog will be migrating to EveningSatellite.com in the next couple of weeks. My sources on the interwebs tell me that I should be able to do this with no detriment to our followers, content, etc., since they’re both WordPress.com sites, but I am wary.

So if you suddenly come here and it looks a bit different, that’s why. Continue reading “Public Service Announcement: RSPC Will be Migrating” →

Haiku Sunday – Reset

On By Steven D'AdamoIn Poetry, Writers - Steve D'AdamoLeave a comment

“Reset”

We visited my sister-in-law and her boyfriend at their new place in Philly, and I fully intended to post a related haiku this morning. That, obviously, did not happen. I didn’t even manage to take a picture while we were there. But we had a great time eating, drinking, and having fun with the baby and the dog.

Most of these ideas are too vague or too far-fetched for me to pursue in any meaningful way, but maybe someone else can.

The One Question Required to Write Speculative Fiction

On By Steven D'AdamoIn Creativity Sessions, Writers - Steve D'AdamoLeave a comment

I don’t talk a whole lot about genre in this space, mostly because I think it’s difficult — and not altogether necessary — to fit stories into neat little boxes.

Genres cross and overlap all over the place, and the water gets even murkier when you throw in the hundreds of hyper-specific sub-genres readers can find now.

So, as with any other theoretical discussion, if I’m going to talk about Genre, I’m going to start at the top. Continue reading “The One Question Required to Write Speculative Fiction” →

After two+ weeks at my new job, June has flown by. Finding time to write, work out, spend time with the baby, and do all the other things I want to do is harder than ever, but I think I’m doing alright. Continue reading “July Write Day: Finding A New Routine” →

#AmConsuming: A Sudden Dearth of Consuming Time

On By Steven D'AdamoIn On Storytelling, Writers - Steve D'AdamoLeave a comment

June has been a tough month for my consumption of various media. I started my new job two weeks ago, and I’ve spent most of that time trying to hone my daily routine.

That means things like binge-watching Netflix or Hulu and even reading–unfortunately–have fallen by the wayside for now. But I’ve still managed to check some things off my list. Continue reading “#AmConsuming: A Sudden Dearth of Consuming Time” →
