January Wrap Up

Hey all, Sam here. Wow, January was a pretty awesome month for reading, at least for me anyway. I am happy to say that I was having a great time reading, and I found myself finishing up quite a few fantastic reads. The downside was that I wasn't then spending time after finishing each book… Continue reading January Wrap Up

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

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
