Hey all, Sam here. It has been a little bit since I've had a post here on the blog. I keep saying that I have a bunch of half-written book reviews that I just need to finish and then post, but then stuff keeps happening and I just don't manage to finish them. Trust me,… Continue reading Pathfinders Writing Collective (PaWriCo 2026)
Hey all, Sam here. I have been out of the writing habit again, and I haven't done much writing since Gen Con and the Writer's Symposium. I need to make writing a little more of a focus in my life, and I do have a few different stories I'd like to work on more and/or… Continue reading Fall 2026 Write Brave Challenge
Hey all, Sam here. Okay, this is a little overdue, but it took me a little longer to recover from Gen Con than I expected. We had a couple of very long days at the convention, and then the two days after we got back, I had to go in to work, so there wasn't… Continue reading July 2026 Wrap-Up
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
