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

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
Weekend Writer: August Prompts
Hey all, Sam here. It is Gen Con Day Two! We have quite a bit on our schedules, between panels and game playtests and of course wandering the exhibit hall, and there's a few game drops that we're really hoping we're lucky enough to snag, so we'll see what happens. Obviously, since I'm writing this… Continue reading Weekend Writer: August Prompts

Weekend Writer: Editing an Old Novel (A Before Look at the Prologue)
Hey all, Sam here. I needed a little bit longer to get the creative writing chapter deep-dive finished, so I'm pushing that Weekend Writer post to either Saturday or Sunday as a bonus post. So, for today, I decided to let you in on a project I'm working on. A decade ago, I released a… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Editing an Old Novel (A Before Look at the Prologue)
