The Dispossessed
I hate giving bad reviews. There’s probably some troll out there who gets off on savaging other people’s work, but I’m not one of them. Atleast, I try not to be. Sometimes I fail. And even if I don’t fail, it’s easy to come out the backside of a bad review feeling like a Grade-A…
Read MoreWriting Workshop: Pre-Planning Your Book
About a month or two ago I asked you all for some topical ointment suggestions. Ointment? Really? That doesn’t seem right. *checks notes* Oh, I meant some topical blogging suggestions. (<– that was about as forced as a joke can possibly get. Please forgive me.) On the whole, the ideas thrown out were more diverse…
Read MoreRoche Limit
Oof, it’s been a couple weeks since I did a book review. Let’s see if I can remember how to these things are supposed to go. *fiddles with the magic box inside of which I keep all my reviewing super-powers* Uh… hrm… Who put a dead cricket inside my magic reviewing super-powers box? Oh, wait.…
Read MoreThe Hugo’s (and why only 23 people really care)!
As you read in yesterday’s Vacation from Hell post, I’ve been away for awhile. So in the past few days I’ve been making a concerted effort to catch up on all the myriad things I’ve fallen behind on. Something interesting I’ve discovered is that whilst disconnected from the interwebs its hard to shake the feeling…
Read MoreBooks of the Week (Plus A Chance To Win A Copy Of Time Heist)
The best things in life are free. Right? Well, that’s what they say atleast. We need some empirical proof before we can say definitively one way or the other. Otherwise we’re like anti-vaxxers going around all willie-nillie spitting in the noble eye of science. There’s only one eye I spit in… death. And fear. And…
Read MoreWriting Workshop: First Drafts Stop For No Woman!
You all gave me some fantastic blogging ideas in the last post and I’m excited like a Kindergartner on the third day of school (once he’s gotten over his crippling fear of being away from Mommy, that is) to get to those topics. To give you all a glimpse of what is on the horizon…
Read MoreBooks of the Week 3/2-3/8
I apologize, the last few posts have been shamelessly plugging my own book, but I promise, that’s behind us….for now. Let’s get back to the basics and review a couple books I read last week. But wait, hold up, before we do, I’ve got a little proposition for you. So, uh… why don’t you shuffle…
Read MoreTome Tender: Time Heist Review
The reviews for Time Heist have been pouring in over the last few days and my cheeks are just blushing with all the positive feedback. As a writer you try not to pay too much attention to reviews (despite how important they are) for fear that negative feedback will suck out your soul like a…
Read MoreLego Back to the Future!!
I’m not gonna put too much effort into this blogpost seeing as how it’s a lazy Sunday morning and I’m still wearing sweatpants. But that’s okay, ’cause Back to the Future in Lego form pretty much takes care of itself. Sit back and relax.
Read MoreWriting Workshop: Pacing Your Story!
A lot goes into writing a good story, unless somehow you’ve made BFF’s with a Muse. If that’s the case you don’t need me, and you should go frolicking through fields of daisies, jerk. For the rest of us, there are a lot of aspects of good storytelling that require conscious attention. These range from having good…
