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
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. I want to write, and I can feel the words sitting in my mind, the scenes wanting to play… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Embrace Your Weird: Face Your Fears and Unleash Creativity by Felicia Day
Hey all, Sam here. So....my entire TBR for the month of June is NetGalley reads for releases in June and the beginning of July. I know. I know. I typically select some NetGalley books and then choose a few from my physical TBR that I'd love to read. I'll explain the reason for this switch-up… Continue reading June TBR
Hey all, Sam here. Okay, so I know that I dropped the ball when it came to my Weekend Writer posts in the month of May. Obviously I didn't manage to get a prompt post created, but I also didn't share my writing from my prompts in April, so I'll share that post next week,… Continue reading Weekend Writer: The Linchpin Writer: Crafting Your Novel’s Key Moments by John Matthew Fox
Hey all, Sam here. Well, it has certainly been awhile since the last WIP Wednesday post popped up on this blog. I'm trying to work on getting back into a more consistent schedule, in terms of reading, writing, blogging, and just life in general. Obviously I can't promise anything, but I'm trying to get things… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – April 17, 2024
