Hey all, Sam here. Am I back with another cozy fantasy book review? Well of course I am! Yesterday was this book's birthday, so welcome to the world. I literally read this the day after reading The Keeper of Magical Things by Julie Leong, so one could definitely say that I am in a cozy… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Recipes for an Unexpected Afterlife by Deston J Munden
Hey all, Sam here. I have not had much to say around here when it comes to writing progress. I wish I had a better answer than saying that life keeps getting in the way. But sometimes that's just what it is. I wanted to participate in the Write Brave Challenge and try outlining up… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Writing Update
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. Somehow we're nearing the end of this writing habit challenge. I think overall it has been a productive challenge for me, but I still absolutely admit that I could have done better towards my goals. My final update will be next week (while I'm at Gen Con, so that's extra fun).… Continue reading PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp July 18-24 Check-In
Hey all, Sam here. You know, I haven't done a Tabletop Tuesday post in a little while, and I might try to start getting back to that with a couple tabletop posts a month because David and I have two rather solid D&D groups going right now and I'd love to talk about that more,… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Last Session Graphic Novel by Jasmine Walls, Dozerdraws, and Micah Myers
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. 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. 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
