We’re back with another update on the writing progress for draft 3 of Soulformer book 1. This was not as explosive productivity-wise as last month, but I still soldiered on with what I could. For those following along month to month, I got roughly 20% of the draft done last month alone. This was fueledContinue reading “April Showers And All That”

Greetings all! I have actual substantial updates this time around. It feels great! Let’s not beat around the bush here. I’m going straight for the throat and starting off with what you want to read. Draft 3(ish) of Soulformer book 1 is well under way! For those who have noticed, I’ve updated the home pageContinue reading “Book 1 Updates Abound”

Welp. Futurescapes 2022 has officially come and gone… AND IT WAS AWESOME! It was three days full of workshopping, Q&As, and presentations that opened my eyes more fully to the world of professional writing and breaking in to the scene. The members of my writing group were all incredible authors already (which was more thanContinue reading “Futurescapes 2022 Alumni”

I apologize that this month’s blog post is coming later than normal. I have good reason for the delay, seeing as I’ve been knocked on my butt by COVID. My whole family has/had it and it seems like I got dealt the worst hand. Ah well. After several days of on and off fevers andContinue reading “Some Less Exciting Updates… But Updates All the Same!”

You read that right, ladies and gents. My short story, after 3 1/2 to 4 drafts, was finalized and submitted for potential publishing in a sci-fi/fantasy magazine. I’m sure I could go through and nitpick more revisions or add/take away pieces, but I figured if I did that the story would never be finished. ThereContinue reading “Short Story Finished!”

Here we are, another month gone by. I just finished the second draft of my short story by the skin of my teeth (literally finished up the final edits before posting this update). I had some kinks to work out and some changes to think through that meant I didn’t get into the third draftContinue reading “Title Pending”

For those one or two of you that may or may not have checked in on my home page throughout the month of October, you may have noticed a little progress update on a new mystery project. As of now, the first draft is complete! I’m going to give a small update on what itContinue reading “New Story Completed! Surprise!”

Is it seriously October already? I swear, I must be getting older, because time did not always pass this quickly. First and foremost, let’s get this out of the way. I did about as well as I did in August… Ok, maybe a little worse. I got roughly 5,000 words this month, which is betterContinue reading “Another month has passed me by”

I love dad jokes. Can you call the title of this blog post a dad joke? Maybe. Let’s move on. Why should you call me the hare? Let’s take a moment and think back to the classic fable of The Tortoise and the Hare. The hare started off strong, got cocky, and ended up slackingContinue reading “Just call me the hare…”

We’re back with another monthly update post! Thankfully, this one is a bit more positive than the last one. Let’s get into it. So the big news is obviously that I’m actively writing again. As I warned in my last post, however, it wasn’t even close to the pace I was taking with book 1.Continue reading “Slow and steady… (Aug. 2021)”
