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
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. Four weeks down, two weeks to go. I think this is the longest I've been able to stick with a writing challenge in quite a while, even if I feel like I could be doing a bit better. Well, with another week completed, I guess it's time to look back on… Continue reading PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp July 11-17 Check-In
Hey all, Sam here. Wow, all right, so we are already halfway through this Bookish Bootcamp that focuses on writing skills and wellness drills. I think I could probably be doing a little better with it, but I'm still meeting my goals, so I'll consider it to be a decent writing progress anyway. Well, with… Continue reading PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp July 4-10th Check-In
Hey all, Sam here. All right, well we have finished the first week of the PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp, and I figured it would be a nice time to check-in and give a breakdown of how my week went for this whole challenge. Some days are a little more active than others, but I tried to… Continue reading PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp June 20-26 Check-In
Hey all, Sam here. I need to get back to writing and creativity. It has felt EXTRA hard for the past 7-8 months, although it has been pretty difficult for the past two years. I keep wanting to tell my stories and to get them down on the page, and they've been simmering in my… Continue reading PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp
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. It has been quite the eventful month, even if it has been not so very productive when it comes to consistent writing, but I should have expected as much because November is usually a difficult month to keep creatively progressing. I know that from 16 years of participating in NaNoWriMo. But… Continue reading PaWriCo Week 3 Check-In
Hey all, Sam here. When I posted about my participation in a end-of-year writing challenge last week, I believe I mentioned that I wanted to try and do semi-regular check-ins on my progress. We're just over a week in, so I guess let's talk about my progress... Well, I knew Day 1 was going to… Continue reading PaWriCo Week 1 Check-In
Hey all, Sam here. Well, as I said yesterday, today I'm going to be talking more about my writing plans for the rest of the year. I was an avid participant in NaNoWriMo for years and years, and was an ML for over a decade, but due to a number of issues, I've parted ways… Continue reading Pathfinders Writing Collective (PaWriCo2024)
