Hey all, Sam here. Okay, so June was obviously a reading focused month, which was wonderful, and I was happy to be able to focus on that, because I really needed a good reading month. I'd missed the feeling of just devouring book after book. That being said, I did mostly let my attention drift… Continue reading PaWriCo’s Bookish Bootcamp 2026
Hey all, Sam here. After the amazing reading month I had in June, I'm ready to keep on reading, BUT I also want to give a little more priority to writing time as well. I basically neglected my writing all of June to indulge in a reading competition with a friend. That being said, I… Continue reading July 2026 TBR
Hey all, Sam here. So....my May wrap-up is coming up so late because I've been deep in the trenches of binge-reading. That is absolutely because of the Pride Month reading challenge issued by my co-worker, and I'm not at all complaining about how much I'm reading. It has felt incredible. But it has meant that… Continue reading May 2026 Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. Welcome back to another Weekend Writer post. I've had my Freewrite Traveler for just over three weeks, and I figured it was time for a quick little post about it. Also, Freewrite is hosting a 50K May writing challenge, and yes, I already know that I'm trying to build up my… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Freewrite Traveler
Hey all, Sam here. I almost feel like I have to get this post up. Last night I did something that was a bit of an impulsive splurge. Well...I guess it wasn't all that impulsive. I've been staring at the Freewrite Traveler device for a year or so now, and telling myself that it was… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Write Brave Challenge 2026
Hey all, Sam here. When we reached the end of 2025, oh I had such high hopes for the possibility and potential of 2026. There was something about it that felt so delightful and hopeful....and it only took a few days into the new year to realize that things were just going to continue being… Continue reading Weekend Writer: A Need for Creativity in Tough Times
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. Today is Pick Your Path Day for PaWriCo! This will be my second year participating in this new writing challenge, and honestly I love the freedom, the camaraderie, the flexibility, the creativity, and the fun that exudes from this organization. While it started as a way to fill in for the… Continue reading Pathfinders Writing Collective (PaWriCo2025)
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. It's the final check in (I totally just thought those words to the melody of "Final Countdown" -- I was in marching band for too many years; that was a standard stand tune). Today is also my birthday, so hopefully as this post goes live, I'm having a great day, but… Continue reading PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp July 25-July 31 Check-In
