Hello, Internet! First off, I've got to say - I love my family. They know quite well that I'm a recluse by nature. This past weekend was a family reunion, and for me it's wonderful that they're willing to let me skulk in the corner with a book for large portions of the day. … Continue reading Weekly Update – 7/19/17
Hello, Internet! Let's get to it, shall we? Writing I've been... middling productive, this week. I honestly haven't spent much time working on Rule (or any other piece, for that matter), and this upcoming week I'll be out of town for about 4 days, so it's unlikely that I'll be productive. Now, the good news is … Continue reading Weekly Update – 7/12/17
Hello, Internet! I'm gonna try something of a different format this week. Use headings and things, see if I can organize this as opposed to my usual word-vomit. Writing Week's gone alright, I feel. I spent a few hours typing up "How the Thrun Earned His Wings" and sent a couple copies off to interested … Continue reading Weekly Update – 7/5/17
Hello, Internet! Feelin' goooooood this week! I just wrapped up writing "How the Thrun Earned his Wings" (that little fairy-tale I've mentioned the last few weeks), and that feels great! This time around I tried out writing the entire thing by hand, and I think it made a difference. What kind of difference? Not sure yet, … Continue reading Weekly Update – 6/28/17
Hello, Internet! I'm going to split my comments into two sections this week. First, I'd like to talk a bit about how my own work has been going. Then, I'd like to reflect on a new book I read this week, Hidden Fire by Rosemarie Cawkwell (more just comments and thoughts, rather than a formal … Continue reading Weekly Update – 6/20/17
Hello, Internet! Well, it's been a while, hasn't it? I've been stuck in a bit of a rut, lately, with little-to-nothing to think or say. Unsure why, but it is what it is. Of course, I'm glad to say that I'm out of that annoying place. Haven't gotten any work to continue on Rule, but in … Continue reading Weekly Update – 6/14/17
Hello, Internet! I'm actually on time this week. Like, really on time. Like, on Wednesday as I've intended. Weird, eh? Feels good. That being said, I've honestly not been terribly productive this week. It is what it is, but I wish I had gotten more done. Entirely my fault - I'm easily distracted by video … Continue reading Weekly Update – 5/24/17
Hello, Internet! I'm very, very, very happy to say that I've got a second draft done of "act one" of The Rule of Iron! This currently works out to be the first five chapters, but I wouldn't be surprised if chapter divisions change up at some point in the future. Calling this segment "act one" isn't to … Continue reading Weekly Update – 5/18/17
Hello, Internet! This week was a bit haphazard, with the switchover from Camp NaNoWriMo in April (aka, Camp Research-because-you-don't-know-what-you're-doing) to May, where I'm planning to try just bearing down as hard as I can on The Rule of Iron. Overall I feel pretty satisfied with my progress, slow though it is. I finished the line edits … Continue reading Weekly Update – 5/4/17
Hello, Internet! Things are going aright over here. This week was a bit of a mishmash, since I was waiting for books to come in. Still waiting, but at least one of them came in (The Kingdom of the Hittites by Trevor Bryce) so I've been able to dive back down the rabbit-hole of research. … Continue reading Weekly Update – 4/26/17
