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. Somehow we're nearing the end of this writing habit challenge. I think overall it has been a productive challenge for me, but I still absolutely admit that I could have done better towards my goals. My final update will be next week (while I'm at Gen Con, so that's extra fun).… Continue reading PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp July 18-24 Check-In
Hey all, Sam here. Four weeks down, two weeks to go. I think this is the longest I've been able to stick with a writing challenge in quite a while, even if I feel like I could be doing a bit better. Well, with another week completed, I guess it's time to look back on… Continue reading PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp July 11-17 Check-In
Hey all, Sam here. Wow, all right, so we are already halfway through this Bookish Bootcamp that focuses on writing skills and wellness drills. I think I could probably be doing a little better with it, but I'm still meeting my goals, so I'll consider it to be a decent writing progress anyway. Well, with… Continue reading PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp July 4-10th Check-In
Hey all, Sam here.

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. 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)
Hey all, Sam here. I already shared this over on my Instagram and Threads, but I'm also going to post it here because I can add even more information in a blog post than I can do with a social post where I want it to cross-post. Today I have the pleasure of participating in… Continue reading Cover Reveal: Dear Reader: An Immersive Literary Journey Through Taylor Swift’s Lyrics with Guided Journal Prompts and Swiftie Easter Eggs by Viktoria Capek
Hey all, Sam here. Happy New Year! Well, at least I hope it is a happy new year. I definitely had to prep this post up in advance because this is the busiest time of the year for my job and I didn't know if I would have the time to get anything written if… Continue reading Goals for 2025
