Weekend Writer: Making Writing a Habit (and Prompts)

Hey all, Sam here. When it comes to blogging, there are some posts that take a bit longer to put together than others. For me, the weekly wrap up post doesn't take too long, and for the most part the book review posts are fairly quick and easy to write up. Tabletop Tuesday sometimes takes… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Making Writing a Habit (and Prompts)

NetGalley Review: The Pearl Hunter by Miya T. Beck

Hey all, Sam here. Guess what? I've already finished writing up tomorrow's Weekend Writer post. I actually finished it last night, which was pretty cool. If they weren't so time consuming I'd probably just completely finish a writing craft book and write up each of the sections at once and get everything scheduled weeks in… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Pearl Hunter by Miya T. Beck

The weather is starting to get a bit nicer, so we are starting to do a little more "spring cleaning" and work around the house. One of our bigger projects that we can handle without… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – March 1

Tabletop Tuesday: Let’s Talk About Dice!

Hey all, Sam and David here. Today is going to be a delightful and chaotic post. What a way to end the month of February. Dice are a staple in a large number of tabletop games, and we have each amassed quite a collection. So I thought it would be fun to talk about some… Continue reading Tabletop Tuesday: Let’s Talk About Dice!

Manga Review: My Hero Academia, Volume 29 by Kohei Horikoshi

Hey all, Sam here. Here we are at another Manga Monday, and we've almost reached the end of a full month of blogging here at Free State of Geek. That feels pretty darn good. And I can already say that I have a rough schedule for the entire month of March mapped out. So we're… Continue reading Manga Review: My Hero Academia, Volume 29 by Kohei Horikoshi

NetGalley Review: Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove by Rati Mehrotra

Hey all, Sam here. Sorry for the later post today...I got sort of distracted with errands and such. But David and I managed to buy some props and such for a 3D print photo shoot. We're going to try and take a whole bunch of photos tomorrow, so you should see those start showing up… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove by Rati Mehrotra

NetGalley Review: The Renaissance of Gwen Hathaway by Ashley Schumacher

Hey all, Sam here. As soon as David gets off work, we'll be starting our "weekend." His work schedule is going to be a bit odd for the next couple weeks, but then it should settle down. But I'm really excited for what we have planned for the next couple of days. We're giving the… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Renaissance of Gwen Hathaway by Ashley Schumacher

Weekend Writer: February Writing Prompt Share Time

Hey all, Sam here. Well, today is the first of hopefully many monthly prompt sharing blog posts. I admit to being a bit nervous with this one. I haven't shared my writing publicly in a while, aside from my blog posts anyway. I've shared a few short stories and such with some friends over the… Continue reading Weekend Writer: February Writing Prompt Share Time

NetGalley Review: Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune

Hey all, Sam here. Hello, hello, and happy Thursday. So...David's been settling into his new job, and after figuring out our household budget, it's time for me to get serious about job hunting myself. I've started really looking at work-from-home jobs, because 1) the cats seem happier when there's someone home with them, 2) it's… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune
