Hey all, Sam here. Look at that, I have another post for you already, and this one is writing related. I can't promise that I'll be regular with check-ins for this upcoming writing challenge, but if all goes well I will hopefully be giving you weekly updates. We'll see what happens. After Gen Con I… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Write Brave Challenge 2025
Hey all, Sam here. So, I wanted to have this post up last week, but the first two days we were home from the convention, I had to work, and then on my days off, I couldn't get the cats off my lap (because they wanted me to make up for several days of missing… Continue reading Gen Con 2025 Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. This week(end)--as in Thursday thru Sunday, David and I will be in Indianapolis for Gen Con once again.

Hey all, Sam here. Hello, hello, and as promised, I am here to give you the wrap-up of all things Gen Con. This year the tabletop gaming convention took place August 1-4 in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, and I knew it was going to be a good time. I had a whole bunch of panels planned,… Continue reading Tabletop Tuesday: Gen Con 2024 Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. Today is Day Two of Gen Con, and it is a busy day of panels at the Writer's Symposium for me. Though I'm writing this up a few days early, I'm pretty sure I'm taking lots of notes at my panels, and so I might share some of my notes in… Continue reading Weekend Writer: August Writing Prompts
Hey all, Sam here. Were you expecting a tabletop game related post today because it's the first day of Gen Con? Because that is absolutely what you are getting...because I absolutely love books that incorporate tabletop games (whether that's TTRPGs or any sort of board game/card game/dice game/etc), and there are more and more coming… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Taking Initiative by Elle M. Stewart

Hey all, Sam here. Once again, we have reached the beginning of a new month, and that means it's time for new Weekend Writer prompts! Eagle-eyed followers will know that this post was supposed to be up yesterday (AKA the first Friday of the month). I blame myself for that; I didn't prepare in advance… Continue reading Weekend Writer: June 2024 Prompts
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. It's Friday again, and honestly there's a lot going on right now...and sadly a lot of it is stuff I'm not talking about in my weekly wrap-ups because it involves shows I'm watching, and I'm not talking about those until the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike has concluded. So I guess I'll just say… Continue reading Weekend Writer: September Prompts
