Hey all, Sam here. All right...so I didn't get the Weekend Writer post I was meant to post ready in time, so it will be coming tomorrow. For today then...how about a peek into one of my projects for Camp NaNoWriMo this July?

Weekend Writer: The Emotional Craft of Fiction by Donald Maass Chapters One and Two
Hey all, Sam here. Why yes, this weekend we get two Weekend Writer posts...which is something that seems to happen somewhat regularly, but that is totally okay. Some weekends you just need a little extra nudge in the writer portion of a creative life. I certainly know that I need a little extra push, a… Continue reading Weekend Writer: The Emotional Craft of Fiction by Donald Maass Chapters One and Two
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

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.

Weekend Writer: Save the Cat! Writes a Novel Chapters Eleven and Twelve by Jessica Brody
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!

WIP Wednesday
Hey all, Sam and David here. I am so glad that I started getting this post prepped on Monday...because David and I stayed up really really late last night playing Diablo IV (like it was 4:30am) when we turned off the gaming systems and went up to bed. Whoops. Anyway, welcome back to WIP Wednesday.… Continue reading WIP Wednesday
Book Review: I am Ace: Advice on Living Your Best Asexual Life by Cody Daigle-Orians

I have four books with a focus on Asexuality that I'm going to talk about this month, one for each Saturday. The reason why I am focused on this section of the LGBTQIAP+… Continue reading Book Review: I am Ace: Advice on Living Your Best Asexual Life by Cody Daigle-Orians

Hey all, Sam here. It's the first Friday of a new month, and that means it is time to talk about some creativity prompts.

Weekend Writer: Save the Cat! Writes a Novel Chapters Six and Seven by Jessica Brody
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.
