Hey all, Sam here. Welcome back to another installment of the Weekend Writer series here on the blog.

Weekend Writer: February 2024 Prompts
Hey all, Sam here. Weekend Writer is back!

January Wrap Up
Hey all, Sam here. Wow, January was a pretty awesome month for reading, at least for me anyway. I am happy to say that I was having a great time reading, and I found myself finishing up quite a few fantastic reads. The downside was that I wasn't then spending time after finishing each book… Continue reading January Wrap Up
2023 Book Haul Sept-Dec
Hey all, Sam here. So yeah, this post is about three weeks later than I had wanted to release it, but I mentioned before that the beginning of the month threw us a couple curve balls.

Goals for 2024
Hey all, Sam here. Usually when it comes time for a new year, a lot of people start making New Year's Resolutions...and some even manage to stick to them. Overall though, I tend to see so many of those resolutions get dropped early on in the year...which is why I prefer to set goals for… Continue reading Goals for 2024
2023 Book Haul May-August
Hey all, Sam here. I did one of these posts a few months ago, a 2023 Book Haul Jan-April that was just a photo dump. There was no detailing what books were in the photos or anything else. I feel bad about that, because I should have done more than just drop photos into a… Continue reading 2023 Book Haul May-August

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.

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
