Welp, I forgot to upload my title card. I blame my goofy counterpart, Jessie, with whom I video chatted last night for 5 and a half hours…
Clearly we had a lot to talk about after a busy month+ for both of us.
Curse our intriguing and impassioned conversations/arguments!
The holidays are usually somewhat stressful for me. Just making sure I’ve find appropriate gifts for people and can get to all of the family events is more than enough to think about.
Work has been stressful this week, largely because I was trying to wrap up a lot of things before being off for a few days.
But, I am off today, and thankfully, have some time to get shit done.

My lifestyle goals were… difficult this week. In fact I completely forgot about them — with good reason.
My aunt passed away unexpectedly last Saturday. Tuesday night after work, we drove my dad up to New Jersey for the funeral on Wednesday morning. Continue reading “Friday Write-Day: Strange Week”
Sometimes, inspiration comes, not when you least expect, but in the manner you least expect.
In case you haven’t caught on yet, I am definitely not publishing The Warden of Everfeld: Memento this year. Now it’s time to officially own it and look forward to next year. Continue reading “On Not Publishing in 2017”

Greetings from New Jersey! We drove up this morning to visit with family this weekend. This has always been my excuse to not go shopping on Black Friday — not that I need an excuse. Continue reading “Friday Write-Day: Writing Rhythm Attained”
Man, I thought world-building was tough. As much as I love going into the details of a place and its people in my stories, even I must admit that it can be a lot of work.
But I had no idea just how difficult it could be to world-build for a second time. Continue reading “The Trouble with World-Building… Twice”
Writing has been slow again for me this week. I’ve written a total of 4,400 words for NaNo — a rather pitiful showing considering my initial goal was 30,000. Continue reading “Friday Write-Day: Recalibrating NaNo Goals”
I’ve managed to fall into a monthly rhythm with this series without even trying. However, I may do an extra one this month in honor of NaNo.
For today’s journey, I’d like to take you to a small region that wields significant influence in the Uplands — some might even say disproportionate influence. Continue reading “Exploring Úr’Dan: The Arrowhead”
