Hey all, Sam here. Weekend Writer is back! 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 left me so drained. I absolutely loved writing all the writing posts and… Continue reading Weekend Writer: January Prompts

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. Overall though, I tend to see so many of those resolutions get dropped early on in the year...which is why I prefer to set goals for… Continue reading Goals for 2024
#JolabokaflodReadathon 2023
Hey all, Sam here. I am going to work on having more posts up soon enough. I've been reading some pretty good books that I'm looking forward to reviewing, and I want to get back to my Weekend Writer posts.

Weekend Writer: October Prompts
Hey all, Sam here. I completely messed up the order my posts were supposed to be posted this weekend. I was supposed to do the first chapter of No Plot? No Problem! today.

Weekend Writer: No Plot? No Problem! A Low-Stress, High-Velocity Guide to Writing a Novel in 30 Days by Chris Baty – Chapter One
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

Weekend Writer: September Prompts
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
Weekend Writer: Writing with Emotion, Tension, & Conflict by Cheryl St. John Chapter 2
Hey all, Sam here. Where does the time keep going? The past couple of weeks it has felt like time has just sped past...and it's like I haven't been able to do nearly as much as I hope to do. I keep hoping things will settle down a bit and I can mark a bunch… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Writing with Emotion, Tension, & Conflict by Cheryl St. John Chapter 2

Weekend Writer: August Prompts
Hey all, Sam here. It is Gen Con Day Two! We have quite a bit on our schedules, between panels and game playtests and of course wandering the exhibit hall, and there's a few game drops that we're really hoping we're lucky enough to snag, so we'll see what happens. Obviously, since I'm writing this… Continue reading Weekend Writer: August Prompts
