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
Hey all, Sam here. All right, well today we have another post that I had about 95% of the way drafted before leaving for Gen Con. I couldn't completely finish it until yesterday, just in case I managed to squeeze in a little extra reading or writing time. Tonight David and I are going to… Continue reading July Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. It's the final check in (I totally just thought those words to the melody of "Final Countdown" -- I was in marching band for too many years; that was a standard stand tune). Today is also my birthday, so hopefully as this post goes live, I'm having a great day, but… Continue reading PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp July 25-July 31 Check-In
Hey all, Sam here. This week(end)--as in Thursday thru Sunday, David and I will be in Indianapolis for Gen Con once again. We look forward to this trip every year, and every year we have a great time. David will be playing a bunch of different board games and such, and I'll be spending a… Continue reading Gen Con 2025 Schedule
Hey all, Sam here. All right, well we have finished the first week of the PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp, and I figured it would be a nice time to check-in and give a breakdown of how my week went for this whole challenge. Some days are a little more active than others, but I tried to… Continue reading PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp June 20-26 Check-In
Hey all, Sam here. I need to get back to writing and creativity. It has felt EXTRA hard for the past 7-8 months, although it has been pretty difficult for the past two years. I keep wanting to tell my stories and to get them down on the page, and they've been simmering in my… Continue reading PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp
Hey all, Sam here. I definitely meant to have this post up on Tuesday, but we had a huge storm come through and we lost power for a good portion of the day. Then Wednesday we were doing the final bits of prep work for a downtown market we vend David's 3d prints at, and… Continue reading May Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. Another month has ended, which means it is time for me to talk about how my April went. I did do a decent amount of TV/movie watching, as per usual, but I'm not tracking my watches like I used to. I can say that David and I did a re-watch of… Continue reading April Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. I started this blog back in January 2016, which means that this year is my 10th year of doing this, which feels incredibly wild to me. Without a doubt I can say that 2019 and 2020 were the best years of the blog, and the most prolific. I miss being able… Continue reading My Top Ten Posts (So Far)
