Hey all, Sam here. When I posted about my participation in a end-of-year writing challenge last week, I believe I mentioned that I wanted to try and do semi-regular check-ins on my progress. We're just over a week in, so I guess let's talk about my progress... Well, I knew Day 1 was going to… Continue reading PaWriCo Week 1 Check-In
Hey all, Sam here. Well, as I said yesterday, today I'm going to be talking more about my writing plans for the rest of the year. I was an avid participant in NaNoWriMo for years and years, and was an ML for over a decade, but due to a number of issues, I've parted ways… Continue reading Pathfinders Writing Collective (PaWriCo2024)
Hey all, Sam here. We have reached September, and as we get into the fall months (here in the US anyway), I often find myself thinking to writing challenges. I am happy to say that I have found a challenge to fill the void left by NaNoWriMo...and that is Writer's Atelier's Write Brave Challenge. You… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Write Brave Challenge 2024
Hey all, Sam here. I admit that I went into a little bit of a shutdown in the days after Gen Con. Between all the panels, the running around the convention center and Indianapolis in general, and the travel distance....I needed the time to rest, so I let my little blog streak die. And, I'll… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Inspiration from Gen Con Writer’s Symposium

Hey all, Sam here. I can't believe I'm working on my August (August?!) TBR already. Where has this year gone? I always look forward to August, because my birthday kicks off the month, and the beginning of the month also marks our annual trip to Gen Con in Indianapolis. I love going to the convention… Continue reading August TBR
Hey all, Sam here. I totally meant to have this post up at the beginning of the month, as in, it was originally drafted with a scheduled release of July 2nd...and that obviously did not happen. That's fine. I guess I'll just post it now, because it still covers a lot of upcoming releases. Anyway...… Continue reading Let’s Talk About Book Releases
Hey all, Sam here. At the current moment I am feeling rather productive. So, just as a random little spoiler alert....I wrote this post in the middle of May...which feels very far in advance to plan a TBR, but considering I am still really trying to focus on keeping up with my NetGalley reading list,… Continue reading July TBR
Hey all, Sam here. Have you ever wanted to have a creative life but it always feels like there's just something in the way? Because lately I have just felt like writing is such a struggle.
