Weekend Writer: The Emotional Craft of Fiction by Donald Maass – Chapter Three

NetGalley Review: The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem

Hey all, Sam here. I'm ready to talk about books some more...Wait. When am I not ready to talk about books? I have such a huge digital stack of books to read, which doesn't look as impressive or imposing as a physical stack, but it also isn't super intimidating either. But there are so many… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem

Weekend Writer: July Prompts

Hey all, Sam here. How have we made it to another Friday already? The time seriously just goes flying by. It's mind-boggling sometimes. It feels like we've been doing so much here on the home front, and so there isn't as much downtime as we'd like. But David's getting back into his urge to paint… Continue reading Weekend Writer: July Prompts
