Hey all, Sam here. It's a weekend of focusing on creative writing...and you know what? I'm totally okay with that. Sure, I had loosely planned to post up some book reviews, but I'm feeling very inspired to talk about creative writing, and so it's just going to be three days straight of Weekend Writer. Next… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Save the Cat! Writes a Novel: Chapter Two – The Save the Cat! Beat Sheet aka The End of All Your Plotting Problems (Part Two) by Jessica Brody

Weekend Writer: Save the Cat! Writes a Novel: Chapter Two – The Save the Cat! Beat Sheet aka The End of All Your Plotting Problems by Jessica Brody
Hey all, Sam here. So my plan had been to make today's Weekend Writer post cover the next two chapters of the book, but considering that Chapter Two is over 50 pages long, I feel like that would end up being way too long...which means that I'm going to go for another double dose of… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Save the Cat!

Book Review: Critical Role: The Mighty Nein: The Nine Eyes of Lucien by Madeleine Roux (and narrated by Robbie Daymond and the cast of Critical Role)
Hey all, Sam here. Here we are at our 100th day of posting in a row, a 100 day streak, and wow...that's pretty cool and pretty impressive. And I didn't know what I wanted to do for today's post. Part of me wanted to do something special, but I also realized that I didn't have… Continue reading Book Review: Critical Role: The Mighty Nein: The Nine Eyes of Lucien by Madeleine Roux (and narrated by Robbie Daymond and the cast of Critical Role)
Tabletop Tuesday: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Monopoly
Hey all, Sam and David here. Hopefully at this point, you all realize that we are both huge geeks. We own a pretty nicely sized tabletop game collection in our home. Our dining room is primarily a game room, not an eating room----we mostly eat on TV trays in the living room. Our dining room… Continue reading Tabletop Tuesday: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Monopoly
Manga Review: The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent Vol 3 by Yuka Tachibana and Fujiazuki
Hey all, Sam here. It is Monday once again, and as per usual, we are starting the week with Manga Monday, the series on the blog where we talk about manga each week, typically with a review of a volume of manga...although there might be occasional anime chats or something coming in future. We'll see.… Continue reading Manga Review: The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent Vol 3 by Yuka Tachibana and Fujiazuki
Book Review: Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher
Hey all, Sam here. I need to get my blog schedule back under control. Too many days my posts go up hours after I'd like them to, and it's frustrating me. I have these plans to have the posts go up at a certain time, that is 3 pm Central Time, because that's pretty much… Continue reading Book Review: Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher
Weekend Writer: Save the Cat! Writes a Novel: Chapter One – Why Do We Care? Creating the Story-Worthy Hero by Jessica Brody
Hey all, Sam here. Every time I pick up a writing craft book, I wonder what I'm going to learn, if I'm going to relate to how the subject matter is presented, and if the book is going to one that I connect with and read quickly or if it's going to be a slog.… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Save the Cat!

Tabletop Tuesday: Happy Little Dinosaurs
Hey all, Sam and David here today. We're going to have another game night tomorrow, and it's going to be a lot of fun. All of our game nights have been fun, and it's cool to sit around the table playing board games and dice games and card games, and usually having snacks alongside. Mostly… Continue reading Tabletop Tuesday: Happy Little Dinosaurs
The Savior’s Book Cafe Story in Another World Volume 2 by Kyouka Izumi, Oumiya, and Reiko Sakurada
Hey all, Sam here. Is it weird to feel tired after spending a day reading? Readathon recovery is no joke, but it seems silly because all I did was sit around and read. But I had a great time, and I accomplished a bunch of reading, which was wonderful. Honestly, I should consider doing a… Continue reading The Savior’s Book Cafe Story in Another World Volume 2 by Kyouka Izumi, Oumiya, and Reiko Sakurada
Graphic Novel Review: Animorphs #3: The Encounter by K.A. Applegate, Michael Grant, and Chris Grine
Hey all, Sam here. It's the first of April, but that doesn't mean that we're going to do some sort of joke post here on Free State of Geek. Well....at least not this year. A good joke or prank would require planning on our part, and we've been a bit busy recently. I guess this… Continue reading Graphic Novel Review: Animorphs #3: The Encounter by K.A.
