Hey all, Sam here. Several years ago, I had a book blog friend who hosted a reading challenge at the end of the year called Diverse December...and while I read diversely year-round, it is nice to also have months where I focus on and highlight those diverse reads and diverse authors just a little more… Continue reading Diverse December Plans
Hey all, Sam here. It has been quite the eventful month, even if it has been not so very productive when it comes to consistent writing, but I should have expected as much because November is usually a difficult month to keep creatively progressing. I know that from 16 years of participating in NaNoWriMo. But… Continue reading PaWriCo Week 3 Check-In
Hey all, Sam here. I guess I'm going to start today's post by referring back to the two previous posts about PaWriCo: first the announcement of my project goals and deadline, and second my Week 1 Check-In. It has been a week since that last check-in, so if I'm serious about trying to work towards… Continue reading PaWriCo Week 2 Check-In
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. Hello, hello, and as promised, I am here to give you the wrap-up of all things Gen Con. This year the tabletop gaming convention took place August 1-4 in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, and I knew it was going to be a good time. I had a whole bunch of panels planned,… Continue reading Tabletop Tuesday: Gen Con 2024 Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. Well, I guess it's time to talk about what I'm getting up to at Gen Con this year...and the answer is a whole bunch of panels (mostly at the Gen Con Writers Symposium). For those who don't know, Gen Con is a tabletop game convention. This year it is taking place… Continue reading Tabletop Tuesday: Gen Con 2024 Plans
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
