Hey all, Sam here. Welcome to December, which means that 2025 is almost over. That also means that I'm really starting to look back over my accomplishments for the year, as well as planning ahead for 2026 (but I'll have more on that in future posts). For today, I'm looking back at my 25 in… Continue reading Can I Finish These Books in 2025?
Hey all, Sam here. Well, I was supposed to have this up yesterday, but I didn't get it finished in time. I'll blame the time change messing with my sleep schedule. Once again we've reached the start of a new month, meaning it is time to look back at the just completed month and see… Continue reading October Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. At this point in the month I usually do a post that is my anticipated reads for the following month (and those are typically the books releasing in that month that I've been approved to read through NetGalley). But as I was looking at those upcoming releases, I noticed that I've… Continue reading My End of Year NetGalley Reads
Hey all, Sam here. I have not had much to say around here when it comes to writing progress. I wish I had a better answer than saying that life keeps getting in the way. But sometimes that's just what it is. I wanted to participate in the Write Brave Challenge and try outlining up… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Writing Update
Hey all, Sam here. Today is Pick Your Path Day for PaWriCo! This will be my second year participating in this new writing challenge, and honestly I love the freedom, the camaraderie, the flexibility, the creativity, and the fun that exudes from this organization. While it started as a way to fill in for the… Continue reading Pathfinders Writing Collective (PaWriCo2025)
Hey all, Sam here. There have been so many incredible sounding releases in the past couple of years, and sadly I have not had enough time to keep up with them all. I keep making myself TBR lists, hoping that I'll be able to find the reading time to get through them all in a… Continue reading Books I’m Hoping to Read in 2025
Hey all, Sam here. Look at that, I have another post for you already, and this one is writing related. I can't promise that I'll be regular with check-ins for this upcoming writing challenge, but if all goes well I will hopefully be giving you weekly updates. We'll see what happens. After Gen Con I… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Write Brave Challenge 2025
Hey all, Sam here. So, I had originally planned to have this released on September 2nd. You know, close to the beginning of the month like I do with pretty much all of my wrap-ups. The only thing I had left to do was this little intro section. But work was exhausting on Aug 31… Continue reading August Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. While I'm a believer that Spooky Season begins August 1st (because I enjoy the season and why not enjoy it as long as possible), I know there are some that declare it finally fall/spooky season come September 1st, or possibly after Starbucks brings back the Pumpkin Spice Latte. By any of… Continue reading Spooky Season 2025 TBR
Hey all, Sam here. So, I wanted to have this post up last week, but the first two days we were home from the convention, I had to work, and then on my days off, I couldn't get the cats off my lap (because they wanted me to make up for several days of missing… Continue reading Gen Con 2025 Wrap-Up
