June 2026 Wrap-Up

Hey all, Sam here. All right, here we go....July is already off to a better start than June (because this is my second blog post of the month, and I only had two posts in all of last month). It was a wild and packed month, though, and there is a lot to cover in… Continue reading June 2026 Wrap-Up

PaWriCo’s Bookish Bootcamp 2026

Hey all, Sam here. Okay, so June was obviously a reading focused month, which was wonderful, and I was happy to be able to focus on that, because I really needed a good reading month.

Weekend Writer: Writing Update

Hey all, Sam here. I have not had much to say around here when it comes to writing progress. I wish I had a better answer than saying that life keeps getting in the way.

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.

PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp

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
