Weekend Writer Review: Embrace Your Weird: Face Your Fears and Unleash Creativity by Felicia Day
Hey all, Dani here. Is today's post a little bit of a hybrid between a typical review and also a Weekend Writer post? Well, sort of. I mean, I'm counting it as both. That's for sure. But I can't travel through this one like I'm doing with my Weekend Writer posts. In the book, there… Continue reading Weekend Writer Review: Embrace Your Weird: Face Your Fears and Unleash Creativity by Felicia Day
Weekly Wrap Up (34)
Hey all, Dani here. Sorry for my supremely late post yesterday. Damian decided that it would be a great and worthwhile idea to drive straight from work down to Cincinnati for Felicia Day's book signing. And okay, yes, it was totally worth it, but we are now both running on about 4 hours of sleep,… Continue reading Weekly Wrap Up (34)

Cincinnati Comic Expo 2019 Wrap-Up
Hey all, Dani here. So this past weekend Damian and I went to work with my friend Brad from Colorworld Books, and it was quite a busy time, but it was overall a wonderful experience. Brad's wife, Rachel, writes the Colorworld book series, which I admit to being obsessed with--actually, I bet I'll have another… Continue reading Cincinnati Comic Expo 2019 Wrap-Up
Weekend Writer: Narrative Design, or Chapter Four of Wonderbook by Jeff Vandermeer
Hey all, Dani here. Well, another week has come and gone, and that means I'm here with another Weekend Writer post. I need to try and get some of these read through and prepped in advance, which will hopefully be a bit easier once I've finished with this book.

Weekend Writer: The Ecosystem of Story, or Chapter Two of Wonderbook by Jeff Vandermeer
Hey all, Dani here. If someone had told me years ago that I would have a decently successful blog posting content every day, or that I would have a dedicated blog series focused on the craft of writing and inspiring people to write, I don't think I would have believed them. Sure, I've always dreamed… Continue reading Weekend Writer: The Ecosystem of Story, or Chapter Two of Wonderbook by Jeff Vandermeer
