Weekend Writer: July Prompts

Hey all, Sam here. How have we made it to another Friday already? The time seriously just goes flying by. It's mind-boggling sometimes. It feels like we've been doing so much here on the home front, and so there isn't as much downtime as we'd like. But David's getting back into his urge to paint… Continue reading Weekend Writer: July Prompts

WIP Wednesday – June 28

Mid Year Book Freakout Tag (2023 Edition)

Hey all, Sam here. So...I did this tag in 2017, 2018, and 2019...and then for some reason just skipped it the past couple years. But you know, what, let's bring it back. The rules are super simple...answer the prompts. Well, I guess technically you need to think about the fact that all of the prompts… Continue reading Mid Year Book Freakout Tag (2023 Edition)

Weekend Writer: Save the Cat! Writes a Novel Chapters Thirteen and Fourteen by Jessica Brody

Hey all, Sam here. I can't believe that this book is nearing its end. After today's post, next week will cover the final chapter. But hey, don't worry. I've found this book to be quite informative, and there's also apparently a YA Novel one that just came out in May, so I'm definitely going to… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Save the Cat!

WIP Wednesday – June 21

Hey all, Sam and David back again today. There's something really calming about having a consistent schedule, at least when it comes to certain things...knowing when your "weekend" is, having a schedule for blogging or reading or writing or whatever. I just enjoy the regularity of it all. Anyway, welcome back to our middle of… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – June 21

Hey all, Sam here. Whew...we made it to Friday. I can absolutely admit that I am struggling a little bit to find my new rhythm now that I'm going to work five days a week...although after my 4-6 weeks of training, there's a chance that everyone will get a schedule change and we'll work four… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Save the Cat!

Weekend Writer: Save the Cat! Writes a Novel Chapters Nine and Ten by Jessica Brody

Hey all, Sam here. Well...it has been a while since we've had to load up a vehicle, set up a booth for an event, work the event, and then tear everything back down and load the vehicle up again. The Downtown Summer Market was really nice...but it's the next day and we're feeling quite tired… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Save the Cat! Writes a Novel Chapters Nine and Ten by Jessica Brody

Book Review: Out of Character by Jenna Miller

Hey all, Sam here. Well...today has been a very eventful day, and that's why today's post is up so late. I was awakened at 8am by my phone ringing, which led to me having a job interview at noon (I got the job), and my orientation is tomorrow and then I start next week. And… Continue reading Book Review: Out of Character by Jenna Miller
