Hello, Internet! I've got about twenty minutes to tap this out, so I'm going to try being quick and brief (like that's gonna happen, right?). Here we go! Reading As promised, I continued to procrastinate this week in reading Schlock Mercenary. I've caught up with the comic's archive, and by and large it's been a fun, weird … Continue reading Weekly Update – 9/21/17
Hello, Internet! Past week's been alright. Started the first class of my MFA program, and it's gone well. My goal last week was to get used to returning to classes, so that's been my main focus. Overall, it's an odd feeling having homework once again. Not unpleasant, but a little strange. Reading Most of my … Continue reading Weekly Update – 9/13/17
Hello, Internet! Been a very read-ey week. Spent most of it plowing through the Codex Alera by Jim Butcher, and I'm going to be selfish and just try to speed through this post so I can get back to finishing the last book. Reading As just mentioned, I've been plowing through the Codex Alera. I'm inclined to … Continue reading Weekly Update – 9/6/17
Hello, Internet! My week's been swell. Got an absolute boatload of reading done (some of it not exactly on purpose), so it's obviously been a good time. I managed to get through both of my goals from last week - although they weren't particularly strenuous - and I heard back and was accepted to an … Continue reading Weekly Update – 8/30/17
Hello, Internet! I feel I've been middlingly productive this week. I've been delayed or distracted by some outside factors (such as applying for online courses, and a friend visiting from out of town), but I'm still pleased with the work I've done. So, haven't been super productive on my writing, but I think that some … Continue reading Weekly Update – 8/23/17
Hello, Internet! Less successes this week than last, unfortunately. Sometimes, I'm just too easily distracted by other, less-productive projects. This week, I ended up spending much of my time on some materials for RuneQuest, a game I play with friends every Friday. It's similar to Dungeons & Dragons. There's a bunch of editions of RQ, … Continue reading Weekly Update – 8/16/17
Hello, Internet! Just finished up my writing goal from last week, so I figured I really ought to get going on my weekly post for this week. One of the main reasons I do this each week is for accountability - and I've gotta say, this week? It worked. Let's get to it! Reading This … Continue reading Weekly Update – 8/9/17
Hello, Internet! It's been a good week. Got some good work done on Rule, and I'm starting to feel pretty optimistic again about revising the blasted thing. Reading So I may have gone ahead and just finished re-reading The Shadow of What Was Lost over the past week. As I commented last week (regarding Percy Jackson & the … Continue reading Weekly Update – 8/2/17
Hello, Internet! This week's been pretty productive! In addition to wrapping up & publishing my review of Milo Yiannopolis' Dangerous, I got some good work done on my maps & setting for The Rule of Iron. Well, let's get to it, shall we? Reading I completely blew through Percy Jackson & the Olympians. I think I read the … Continue reading Weekly Update – 7/26/17
Milo Yiannopolis is an egotistical asshole – but an entertaining one. A self-proclaimed “internet supervillain,” Milo is most (in)famous for catchy, offensive slogans such as “Feminism is Cancer” or the headline of his recent college series, “The Dangerous Faggot Tour.” Now, Milo has entered the world of self-publishing with his first book, Dangerous. Unfortunately, I … Continue reading Review – Dangerous (2017)
