Manga Review: The Savior’s Book Cafe Story in Another World Vol 3 by Kyouka Izumi, Oumiya, and Reiko Sakurada

Hey all, Sam here. Welcome back to Manga Monday, which means it is time to review another volume of a manga I've been reading.

Weekend Writer: Save the Cat! Writes a Novel: Chapter Two – The Save the Cat! Beat Sheet aka The End of All Your Plotting Problems by Jessica Brody

Hey all, Sam here. So my plan had been to make today's Weekend Writer post cover the next two chapters of the book, but considering that Chapter Two is over 50 pages long, I feel like that would end up being way too long...which means that I'm going to go for another double dose of… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Save the Cat!

Hey all, Sam here. Here we are at our 100th day of posting in a row, a 100 day streak, and wow...that's pretty cool and pretty impressive. And I didn't know what I wanted to do for today's post. Part of me wanted to do something special, but I also realized that I didn't have… Continue reading Book Review: Critical Role: The Mighty Nein: The Nine Eyes of Lucien by Madeleine Roux (and narrated by Robbie Daymond and the cast of Critical Role)

Book Review: Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher

Hey all, Sam here. I need to get my blog schedule back under control. Too many days my posts go up hours after I'd like them to, and it's frustrating me. I have these plans to have the posts go up at a certain time, that is 3 pm Central Time, because that's pretty much… Continue reading Book Review: Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher

Weekend Writer: Save the Cat! Writes a Novel: Chapter One – Why Do We Care? Creating the Story-Worthy Hero by Jessica Brody

Hey all, Sam here. Every time I pick up a writing craft book, I wonder what I'm going to learn, if I'm going to relate to how the subject matter is presented, and if the book is going to one that I connect with and read quickly or if it's going to be a slog.… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Save the Cat!

Book Review: A Witch’s Guide to Fake Dating a Demon by Sarah Hawley

Hey all, Sam here. I love getting to talk about books, but I continuously find myself living in places where I'm not around people who read with the same voraciousness I do, so I don't get to talk about what I'm reading or what I've read in my day-to-day life...aside from here on the blog.… Continue reading Book Review: A Witch’s Guide to Fake Dating a Demon by Sarah Hawley
