Hey all, Dani here. I didn't realize what I was getting myself into by doing my Weekend Writer posts this way. For those first couple of chapters it was like 30-40 pages, so not that much material to cover. Well, hello chapter three, thank you for changing all of that for me. Yes, this chapter… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Beginnings and Endings, or Chapter Three of Wonderbook by Jeff Vandermeer

Weekly Wrap-Up (28)
Hey all, Dani here. Man, it bums me out when I have small weekly wrap-ups. I mean, I know I'm still doing decent reading overall, but after the past few months, I feel like this month has been kinda slow. Realistically I can look at my list of books for my wrap-up and it actually… Continue reading Weekly Wrap-Up (28)
Weekend Writer: The Ecosystem of Story, or Chapter Two of Wonderbook by Jeff Vandermeer
Hey all, Dani here. If someone had told me years ago that I would have a decently successful blog posting content every day, or that I would have a dedicated blog series focused on the craft of writing and inspiring people to write, I don't think I would have believed them. Sure, I've always dreamed… Continue reading Weekend Writer: The Ecosystem of Story, or Chapter Two of Wonderbook by Jeff Vandermeer
I Need Your Help. Please and Thank You.
Hey all, Dani here. Sorry to break my typical scheduling of posts, but I got some pretty exciting news at work today. I will be getting an interview for a job that would be pretty much perfect for me. It is an office (HR-ish) job at the factory, and one of the primary responsibilities is… Continue reading I Need Your Help. Please and Thank You.
Weekend Writer: Inspiration and the Creative Life, or Chapter One of Wonderbook by Jeff Vandermeer
Hey all, Dani here. Welcome to the first actual post of Weekend Writer. I've been so nervous about really diving into this series on my blog, but I think it will be good for me, and hopefully you all get something from it as well. It would be really cool for all of us who… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Inspiration and the Creative Life, or Chapter One of Wonderbook by Jeff Vandermeer
Weekly Wrap-Up (26)
Hey all, Dani here. Holy smokes, this is the 700th post I've written and posted for this blog. That number doesn't include the posts by Damian or Signy; just mine. I'm not going to lie: this feels like a pretty big accomplishment. I never dreamed that this blog would do this well, and I'm constantly… Continue reading Weekly Wrap-Up (26)
Weekend Writer: Introduction
Hey all, Dani here. In all honestly the Writer's Symposium at Gen Con had the opposite effect I was hoping for. There were a few interesting things I learned, and it was cool to meet authors who either work as a writer full time or who have a day job and then write on the… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Introduction
Gen Con – Day Four
Hey all, Dani (and Damian) here. This post should have been written and published yesterday, but after driving home from the convention on Sunday, we did a lot of sleeping and a lot of staring at our very nicely sized convention haul. It was a lot to deal with and so this post didn't get… Continue reading Gen Con – Day Four
Gen Con – Day Three
Hey all, Dani (and Damian) here. Whew, we're almost at the end of the Gen Con experience. It's always such a great time, but it's also so jam packed with people and stuff to do, so I look forward to this convention, but then I also look forward to just relaxing once it's over. As… Continue reading Gen Con – Day Three
Gen Con – Day Two
Hey all, Dani (and Damian) here. Typically when it comes to a convention, Saturday is the longest and busiest day. For us at Gen Con this has not been our experience. No, for us Friday is the longest day, thanks to a certain Dungeons & Dragon's show we are huge fans of. Yes, Day Two… Continue reading Gen Con – Day Two
