Hey all, Sam here. Happy New Year! Well, at least I hope it is a happy new year. I definitely had to prep this post up in advance because this is the busiest time of the year for my job and I didn't know if I would have the time to get anything written if… Continue reading Goals for 2025
Hey all, Sam here. Well all right then, I'm slowly working myself out of that post-Gen Con recovery time. It didn't help that I basically immediately went back to my full-time job with no extra day to just relax, but that's okay. Even with the need for a few days of laziness to recover from… Continue reading ARC Review: Love Across the Tabletop by Kait Disney-Leugers
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. Well, I guess it's time to talk about what I'm getting up to at Gen Con this year...and the answer is a whole bunch of panels (mostly at the Gen Con Writers Symposium). For those who don't know, Gen Con is a tabletop game convention. This year it is taking place… Continue reading Tabletop Tuesday: Gen Con 2024 Plans
Hey all, Sam here. I totally meant to have this post up at the beginning of the month, as in, it was originally drafted with a scheduled release of July 2nd...and that obviously did not happen. That's fine. I guess I'll just post it now, because it still covers a lot of upcoming releases. Anyway...… Continue reading Let’s Talk About Book Releases
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 am so far behind on all of my book reviewing, and my book writing....and just life in general it feels like. Perhaps I shouldn't be so hard on myself, but I look back at the history of this blog to when I actually was posting like 10-12 posts each week… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Twelfth Knight by Alexene Farol Follmuth
Hey all, Sam here. It’s the start of a new month, and that means it’s time for more Weekend Writer prompts! As I mentioned in a previous post, I am making some changes to how this blog series works, mostly because I was spending so much time prepping and writing these weekly posts and it… Continue reading Weekend Writer: April 2024 Prompts
Hey all, Sam here. Welcome back to another installment of Weekend Writer. Much like I did last month, I'm doing a little deeper of a dive into this month's writing craft book. So, last week I did a general review of The 5 Sentence Method by Rebecca Thorne, and this week I'm actually trying out… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Trying out The 5 Sentence Method by Rebecca Thorne
