I’ve mentioned a few times that I joined Wattpad to see what stories I could dig up there. I just finished my first full book there:
The Juggernaut, by Peter A. Dixon. Overall, I enjoyed the story, but it left me wanting in some areas.
I went to my first convention on Sunday! I knew that fellow author and blogger MLS Weech was going to be there, so I wanted to take the opportunity to stop by his table.
But I also wanted to start preparing for my next big move in book publishing: selling my book at conventions.
Continue reading “Baltimore Comic-Con Reconaissance”I finished reading Skylights by Luther M. Siler a week or two ago. Siler was the first indie author I followed when I joined WordPress three years ago. I’ve been intending to read this book for forever, and boy am I glad I got around to it.

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!”
Last week I received the Blogger Recognition Award from both MLS Weech and Nichole McGhie!
This is my first time getting one of these awards from the WordPress community, so I’m pretty stoked to get it from two bloggers I follow closely. Thanks guys! Continue reading “Blogger Recognition Award!”

Indie books are fun. I came upon Revenant: Advent because I happen to know the author personally. When I found out recently that Valerie Dugie had published her first book in 2010, I promised I would read it.
And I really enjoyed it. Continue reading “Book Review: REVENANT: ADVENT, Valerie Dugie – A Sci-Fi Thrill-Ride”
Lesson #37 from finishing my first manuscript: Try to find that balance.
Accomplishing anything effectively is about balance. Finishing the first draft of The Warden of Everfeld: Memento over the last few months was a bit tiresome. I had not met my monthly writing goals since the end of NaNoWriMo 2015, and I was constantly falling behind – according to my own exceedingly high standards. I just wanted it done, but I didn’t always have the motivation or the willpower to just sit down and write.

I just finished reading Andy Weir’s The Martian. Overall, I enjoyed this compelling story. The story follows Mark Watney, an astronaut left on Mars after his crew had to abort their mission, assuming he was dead, and with no other options. Continue reading “Gut Reaction: THE MARTIAN by Andy Weir”
