WIP Wednesday – April 17, 2024

Hey all, Sam here.

Well, it has certainly been awhile since the last WIP Wednesday post popped up on this blog. I’m trying to work on getting back into a more consistent schedule, in terms of reading, writing, blogging, and just life in general. Obviously I can’t promise anything, but I’m trying to get things together.

For the most part though, I think the WIP Wednesdays will be pretty easy to post up consistently, because they don’t require as much time and planning to write up.

So anyway, hello, and welcome to WIP Wednesday. This series on the blog is a quick recap of everything I’ve been reading, watching, writing, and doing over the past week. Some weeks I get up to so much that these little recap posts help me keep track of things when I’m looking back at the month overall, the quarter, or even the year.

Let’s get started.

Reading: In the past week I have finished Lady of Starfire by Melissa K. Roehrich, Evocation by S.T. Gibson, The Foxglove King by Hannah Whitten

Well…I actually did manage to do some solid reading this past week, which is really nice. But I’m still halfway through the month and I’ve only completed 5 books so far, so I feel like I’m a bit behind. However, considering I still have the rest of today and tomorrow off work….who knows? Maybe I can finish off a few more books.

I’m obviously not in the middle of all of these books at the moment, but they are my current and upcoming reads. Hopefully I’ll be able to finish and review The Hemlock Queen by Hannah Whitten, Necrobane by Daniel M. Ford, The Brides of High Hill by Nghi Vo, and To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods by Molly X Chang soon. Honestly I’m hoping to have these done before next week’s WIP Wednesday, so we’ll see what happens.

Watching: Well, we finished up a re-watch of the animated “Avatar the Last Airbender” and then immediately started a re-watch of “The Legend of Korra.” We’re on Book Two now, and it’s just the show we throw on when we want something on while we eat, or when we don’t have enough time for an hour-long episode…well, either this or “X-Men” animated, because we’re trying to do a re-watch so we can finally watch “X-Men 97.” And for our longer watch right now, we’re trying to catch up on Campaign 3 of “Critical Role.” We have, I think 7 or 8 episodes to watch to be fully caught up, so it’s going to be a bit time-consuming.

Writing: I’ve thought about writing but I actually haven’t done any writing…which completely sucks. I want to write, so I just need to DO IT. Hopefully next week I’ll actually have something to talk about in this section.

Other: Let’s see…Wednesday we were in Ohio, and we visited a couple restaurants and a couple game shops that we’ve missed visiting. Thursday we had to load up the car and drive back to Iowa, but we made a pit stop in Lafayette, Indiana, so I could go to Main Street Books and see Kel’s Biggest Gayest Table, which was fun (and obviously I bought some books while I was there). Sunday we helped a friend load up her U-Haul so she could move a couple hours away from us, and then we went for our first game of miniature golf for the season.


All right, well that is all from me for today. Let me know what you’ve been up to recently, because I’d love to know. Thank you for stopping by, and I’ll be back soon with more geeky content.
