Hey all, Sam here. It's amazing how much better you can feel after two really great days in a row, two days that were a soothing balm for your mental health.

Hey all, Sam here. So my plan had been to make today's Weekend Writer post cover the next two chapters of the book, but considering that Chapter Two is over 50 pages long, I feel like that would end up being way too long...which means that I'm going to go for another double dose of… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Save the Cat!

Hey all, Sam here. Every time I pick up a writing craft book, I wonder what I'm going to learn, if I'm going to relate to how the subject matter is presented, and if the book is going to one that I connect with and read quickly or if it's going to be a slog.… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Save the Cat!

I was peeling potatoes for lunch and the peeler went a little wild and I ended up peeling off a bit of my pinkie finger (non-dominant hand, thankfully enough).
