Hey all, Sam here. Even with taking out the chapter's title from this post's title, it still feels like a long title. I guess that's what happens when the book has a long title and so do some of the chapters. That's okay though. Anyway, hello, and welcome back to Weekend Writer. NaNoWriMo is coming.… Continue reading Weekend Writer: No Plot? No Problem! A Low-Stress, High-Velocity Guide to Writing a Novel in 30 Days by Chris Baty – Chapter One

Weekend Writer: September Prompts
Hey all, Sam here. It's Friday again, and honestly there's a lot going on right now...and sadly a lot of it is stuff I'm not talking about in my weekly wrap-ups because it involves shows I'm watching, and I'm not talking about those until the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike has concluded. So I guess I'll just say… Continue reading Weekend Writer: September Prompts
Book Review: The Study of Poisons by Maria V Snyder
Hey all, Sam here. Today’s blog review post is an interesting one, at least for me, because it is partly a review for a newer release, but it is also a throwback to my college days…which was a couple iterations of my blog ago. My former blogs never had any real viewership. I believe I… Continue reading Book Review: The Study of Poisons by Maria V Snyder

WIP Wednesday – Aug 9
Hey all, Sam and David here again today. After the lengthy post from yesterday, I think we're going to try our best to keep today's post a little more short and sweet...because obviously most of the past week has been spent at Gen Con. Basically we'll be covering anything that happened last Wednesday after we… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – Aug 9
Tabletop Tuesday: Gen Con Wrap Up
Hey all, Sam and David here. Okay, this might end up being a bit long. Well, at least it's certainly going to be a whole bunch of photos, so I don't think we're going to take too long with the intro section. We've tried for the most part to divide things up day by day… Continue reading Tabletop Tuesday: Gen Con Wrap Up
NetGalley Review: The First Binding by R.R. Virdi
Hey all, Sam here. Welcome to me talking about the best book I've read so far in 2023. Yes, that is how I am starting this post. And what's even more exciting, I'm meeting the author today (actually, I'll have already met the author by the time this post goes live, but whatever--time is a… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The First Binding by R.R. Virdi

It's my birthday, so why not talk about a TTRPG supplement that expands one of my favorite aspects of gameplay, and that is the role of the divine in game? The Heretic's Guide to Devotion & Divinity by Eventyr Games is well worth checking out!
Book Review: Role Playing by Cathy Yardley
Hey all, Sam here. Okay, I have a feeling that I'm going to end up having a bunch of bonus blog posts that are book reviews coming. Because I'm getting quite a bit of reading done...and I'm planning on having a reading day on Monday, where I'll basically just read and blog prep the whole… Continue reading Book Review: Role Playing by Cathy Yardley
