Hey all, Sam here. Why yes, this weekend we get two Weekend Writer posts...which is something that seems to happen somewhat regularly, but that is totally okay. Some weekends you just need a little extra nudge in the writer portion of a creative life. I certainly know that I need a little extra push, a… Continue reading Weekend Writer: The Emotional Craft of Fiction by Donald Maass Chapters One and Two

Weekend Writer: July Prompts
Hey all, Sam here. How have we made it to another Friday already? The time seriously just goes flying by. It's mind-boggling sometimes. It feels like we've been doing so much here on the home front, and so there isn't as much downtime as we'd like. But David's getting back into his urge to paint… Continue reading Weekend Writer: July Prompts
Weekend Writer: Save the Cat! Writes a Novel Chapter Fifteen by Jessica Brody (AND Prompt Share)
Hey all, Sam here. It is the end of the month...and tomorrow is the start of Camp NaNoWriMo. I think I'm all ready to go.

WIP Wednesday – June 28
Hey all, Sam and David here today. There has been so much going on over here at Free State of Geek, both individually and together.

Weekend Writer: Save the Cat! Writes a Novel Chapters Thirteen and Fourteen by Jessica Brody
Hey all, Sam here. I can't believe that this book is nearing its end. After today's post, next week will cover the final chapter. But hey, don't worry.

WIP Wednesday – June 21
Hey all, Sam and David back again today. There's something really calming about having a consistent schedule, at least when it comes to certain things...knowing when your "weekend" is, having a schedule for blogging or reading or writing or whatever. I just enjoy the regularity of it all. Anyway, welcome back to our middle of… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – June 21
Weekend Writer: Save the Cat! Writes a Novel Chapters Eleven and Twelve by Jessica Brody
Hey all, Sam here. Whew...we made it to Friday. I can absolutely admit that I am struggling a little bit to find my new rhythm now that I'm going to work five days a week...although after my 4-6 weeks of training, there's a chance that everyone will get a schedule change and we'll work four… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Save the Cat!

WIP Wednesday
Hey all, Sam and David here. I am so glad that I started getting this post prepped on Monday...because David and I stayed up really really late last night playing Diablo IV (like it was 4:30am) when we turned off the gaming systems and went up to bed. Whoops. Anyway, welcome back to WIP Wednesday.… Continue reading WIP Wednesday
Book Review: I am Ace: Advice on Living Your Best Asexual Life by Cody Daigle-Orians
Hey all, Sam here. Well, everyone, it is Pride Month, and I am feeling the need to talk about that a bit. I have four books with a focus on Asexuality that I'm going to talk about this month, one for each Saturday. The reason why I am focused on this section of the LGBTQIAP+… Continue reading Book Review: I am Ace: Advice on Living Your Best Asexual Life by Cody Daigle-Orians

Hey all, Sam here. It's the first Friday of a new month, and that means it is time to talk about some creativity prompts.
