Hey all, Sam here. Originally last week's Weekend Writer post was going to cover Chapters 4-6, and then Chapter 7 was going to be put with this month's prompt share. But then I thought that last week's post would be too long, so I decided to push Chapter 6 to this week, and then I… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Save the Cat!

Let’s Chat About Books (Especially Anticipated Reads)
Hey all, Sam here. I've realized that since I don't do TBR posts anymore--which makes sense considering the fact that I very rarely stick to a TBR--I don't really talk much about books I'm excited about reading. Sure, I had my Jan-June Anticipated Releases post (and there's a July-Dec one coming next month), but aside… Continue reading Let’s Chat About Books (Especially Anticipated Reads)
Tabletop Tuesday: Superfight
Hey all, Sam and David here today. While we would love to just talk about Pathfinder 2E some more, since we only discussed character creation last week, we want to spread the geeky love and appreciation around. That means not just talking about TTRPGs, but also talking about board games, card games, and dice games.… Continue reading Tabletop Tuesday: Superfight
Weekend Writer: Save the Cat! Writes a Novel Chapters Four and Five by Jessica Brody
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. It's a weekend of focusing on creative writing...and you know what? I'm totally okay with that. Sure, I had loosely planned to post up some book reviews, but I'm feeling very inspired to talk about creative writing, and so it's just going to be three days straight of Weekend Writer.

Weekend Writer: Save the Cat! Writes a Novel: Chapter Two – The Save the Cat! Beat Sheet aka The End of All Your Plotting Problems by Jessica Brody
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!

Weekend Writer: Save the Cat! Writes a Novel: Chapter One – Why Do We Care? Creating the Story-Worthy Hero by Jessica Brody
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!
