Greetings and salutations! It seems like it’s been forever since I posted an update here (tongue very firmly in cheek). I just finished up writing for the day, and I have to say I’m pleased with my production. And before I get to the section where I upload...

November 11th is Veterans’ Day in the United States. My dad was an armorer (US Army) in Vietnam. I shared an office for two-and-a-half years with someone who was former 82nd Airborne during the Gulf War. A professor at the college where I used to work IT is a...

In the previous post, I discussed how my writing method has evolved since I started publishing my stories. I also disclosed that it was on that day (or maybe the day before) that the second half of The Fall of Skullkeep finally “clicked” in my mind....

So… Sunday the 6th was another zero writing day. At the time, it was a victim of the “have a really good week and take Sunday off” mentality that was simply not working. Like the 4th & 5th, I can’t swear that I clearly remember how I spent...

Hello! So, the next nine-ish posts will probably feel almost like filler, because… once again… my writing got ahead of my updates. I’m writing this at 7:15am (Eastern) on Sunday the 13th of November. Yup… you read that right. Ever since the...
