“Ambient”
Every molecule
trembles as the air itself
layers and dances.
Another haiku inspired by a song that I simply cannot get enough of.

Friday Publishing-Day: The Deep Breath
This has been a pretty good week. I had started to review my book designer’s sample manuscript over the weekend, but didn’t get too far. Continue reading “Friday Publishing-Day: The Deep Breath”
How to Outline through Character Arcs
On Friday I touched on how I started outlining The Warden of Everfeld: Legacy to help me lay out the general narrative.
I’m pretty sure this style of outline is sort of an amalgam of various outlining techniques I’ve read about, so I’d like to share it with you all. Continue reading “How to Outline through Character Arcs”
Haiku Sunday – Boom
“Boom”
Booming resonance,
like the rumble of thunder
across the night sky.
This song inspired me to explore the tones of music through this series. I don’t really know where this is going, but I hope you enjoy.

Friday Publishing-Day: Coming Together
This has certainly been an interesting week, not least because I drove halfway across the country.
With my manuscript for WoEM in the hands of my book designer, I have been able to focus on other pieces of this larger puzzle. Continue reading “Friday Publishing-Day: Coming Together”
A Short but Sweet Overnight Stay in Lexington, KY
As you may or may not have been aware, Jessie and I just concluded a road trip to move her from Denver back to Baltimore — where she belongs!
We drove a small moving truck filled with her crap precious belongings 1,800 miles over three days. Among long days of driving and stops in multiple cities, one place snuck up on us to steal our hearts: Lexington, Kentucky. Continue reading “A Short but Sweet Overnight Stay in Lexington, KY”
Traveler’s Haiku – Appalachia
“Appalachia”
Smooth hilltops dusted
violet and amber – do they
know of our presence?
Jessie and I are passing through the beautiful Appalachians today after a fun night in Lexington, KY. To Baltimore!

Traveler’s Haiku – BBQ
“BBQ”
Spicy barbecue
to help the plains of Kansas
roll by until dark.
Apologies for the late post. Jessie and I are currently in Central Kansas, trying to knock out the longest leg of this trip in one shot. Did I mention that we’re moving Jessie from Denver to Baltimore this weekend? Next stop: St. Louis!

Exploring Úr’Dan: The Western Uplands
In the hopes of reviving this series as a monthly installment, I’d like to talk about another region of northern Úr’Dan. The Western Uplands have received terribly little attention in my writings so far.
I must admit, this region of Úr’Dan is not as fleshed out as some of the others we’ve discussed. We’re changing that today! Continue reading “Exploring Úr’Dan: The Western Uplands”
Haiku Sunday – Garden
“Garden”
Piles of soil
finally put to good use
to grow hot peppers.
