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.

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.

Hey all, Sam here. Why hello there everyone. It has been a little while. Things have been a bit hectic in our home the past couple of months...which partially explains the disappearance from the blog again.

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
