Hey all, Sam here. Welcome back to another Weekend Writer post. I've had my Freewrite Traveler for just over three weeks, and I figured it was time for a quick little post about it. Also, Freewrite is hosting a 50K May writing challenge, and yes, I already know that I'm trying to build up my… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Freewrite Traveler
Hey all, Sam here. Do you know how difficult it was to choose which book was going to be the featured image for this post? There were like three books I wanted to choose, but unless I edited them to be all together in one image, I had to narrow it down to just one.… Continue reading April 2026 Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. I read this book last year, and actually had it finished in time for its release back in October...but then I didn't get the review up. And then I had planned to get it written up for February, to be a nice Weekend Writer post in the same month as Valentine's… Continue reading NetGalley Review: How to Write Romantasy by Jenna Moreci
Hey all, Sam here. I almost feel like I have to get this post up. Last night I did something that was a bit of an impulsive splurge. Well...I guess it wasn't all that impulsive. I've been staring at the Freewrite Traveler device for a year or so now, and telling myself that it was… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Write Brave Challenge 2026
Hey all, Sam here. When we reached the end of 2025, oh I had such high hopes for the possibility and potential of 2026. There was something about it that felt so delightful and hopeful....and it only took a few days into the new year to realize that things were just going to continue being… Continue reading Weekend Writer: A Need for Creativity in Tough Times
Hey all, Sam here. All right, so I had definitely planned and intended to have this post up in the first few days of the new year. However, due to having to swap from overnight shift to just regular night shift, I have been exhausted and struggling to readjust my sleep schedule...which meant that I… Continue reading Goals for 2026
Hey all, Sam here. Well, I suppose I underestimated how much the schedule shift at work was going to throw my home life into chaos. I had fully expected to have this written and posted on the 2nd or 3rd, and obviously that did not happen. Those two days off were spent trying to readjust… Continue reading December Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. Well, I was supposed to have this up yesterday, but I didn't get it finished in time. I'll blame the time change messing with my sleep schedule. Once again we've reached the start of a new month, meaning it is time to look back at the just completed month and see… Continue reading October Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. At this point in the month I usually do a post that is my anticipated reads for the following month (and those are typically the books releasing in that month that I've been approved to read through NetGalley). But as I was looking at those upcoming releases, I noticed that I've… Continue reading My End of Year NetGalley Reads
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. But sometimes that's just what it is. I wanted to participate in the Write Brave Challenge and try outlining up… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Writing Update
