Hey all, Sam here. Weekend Writer is back! As I mentioned in a previous post, I am making some changes to how this blog series works, mostly because I was spending so much time prepping and writing these weekly posts and it left me so drained. I absolutely loved writing all the writing posts and… Continue reading Weekend Writer: January Prompts

Weekend Writer: October Prompts
Hey all, Sam here. I completely messed up the order my posts were supposed to be posted this weekend. I was supposed to do the first chapter of No Plot? No Problem! today. Yesterday I was meant to do my October prompts, as it was the first Friday of the month. I use several story… Continue reading Weekend Writer: October Prompts
Weekend Writer: No Plot? No Problem! A Low-Stress, High-Velocity Guide to Writing a Novel in 30 Days by Chris Baty – Chapter One
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
Weekend Writer: Writing with Emotion, Tension, & Conflict by Cheryl St. John Chapters 1
Hey all, Sam here. Welcome back to another bookish deep dive for Weekend Writer. So, if you've been paying attention, I was supposed to spend this month finishing up my deep dive into The Emotional Craft of Writing by Donald Maass...but I just wasn't connecting to the book and it just wasn't working for me.… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Writing with Emotion, Tension, & Conflict by Cheryl St. John Chapters 1
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
