Hey all, Sam here. Sorry for not getting this post up yesterday, but I think sharing a writing snippet was a pretty decent substitute overall. I hope some of you have read it...and I would absolutely love to hear your thoughts on the writing and story so far. I know it's still a very rough… Continue reading Weekend Writer: The Emotional Craft of Fiction by Donald Maass – Chapter Three

Tabletop Tuesday: Unstable Unicorns
Hey all, Sam and David here today. Welcome back to Tabletop Tuesday; we have missed you! So, some of you might have noticed that last week we had a Video Game review on Tuesday instead of a Tabletop review/discussion. That was purely my (Sam's) fault. Our work and sleep schedules were thrown out of whack… Continue reading Tabletop Tuesday: Unstable Unicorns
Book Review: That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming
Hey all, Sam here. So my planned blog schedule got thrown off course a smidge because I got a change of work schedule starting today/this week PLUS my reading schedule got a little thrown off course by me sort of "accidentally" reading two other books before the book I needed to read because I had… Continue reading Book Review: That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming

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 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. I've found this book to be quite informative, and there's also apparently a YA Novel one that just came out in May, so I'm definitely going to… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Save the Cat!
