Not resolutions. I don’t make those, because I actually hope to achieve these! There are a few big tasks that I will attempt this year: I’ve posted about this a few times, but chronic fatigue has stopped me from getting it done: get my 3 other versions of Hunters’ Inc. done. When the 3 other versions […]

I’m OK With It
I have been a fiction writer since the start of high school. Whenever we learned a new verb tense or series of words in English class and had a writing assignment to put what we learned into use I would put them into a story that I ultimately never completed. (Actually, friends remember me as […]
My 2013
I don’t do New Year’s resolutions (I’d rather get things done), and I don’t buy into the Mayan Apocalypse… I just wanted to state these things now. As far as results go, 2023 wasn’t as bad for me as 2011 was, but I’m hoping 2013 will be even better. I had one thing published this […]
NaNo is 2 Weeks Over; Time to Get Busy!
I began to work on my other writing projects. Hopefully I’ll get some of them done over the holidays. Hunters’ Inc. I’ve now made into a project in Scrivener. Since the character statistics are all that I need to change for each game system that we’re using, I’ve split the book into separate chapters. I’m […]
So what are my projects now?
It’s nearly a week since NaNoWriMo finished, but I’ve had my rest from it; now I have other things to work on… Now I have the stats to write for 3 versions of Hunters’ Inc. Fortunately I already have the text written. Now comes 3 different ruleset write-ups for the characters. Related articles Lessons from NaNoWriMo […]
NaNoWriMo 2012: How’d I Do?
First off: my apologies. Save for my progress bar for my novel, I didn’t really update this blog all November. I was hard at work on my novel, but not hard enough. I never made my daily word quota, my most productive day 1400 words. My final word count: 23923. Almost — but not quite […]
Another Worthy Kickstarter and Updates

If you haven’t yet, please support it – and if you already have increase your pledge. A big reason why I didn’t update this blog in nearly a week was due to my preparations for NaNoWriMo […]

Late Updates
I think that I’ll have to change my update schedule for this blog. A daily update isn’t easy to maintain… not if I want every post to be a quality one. I’ll announce my new posting schedule very soon. I have some updates to share, both about here and my author Fan page on Facebook: […]
My Realizations on Story and Plot
I thought these were interchangeable names for the same thing. I’m currently reading a book called ‘Steal This Plot’ however and realize I thought wrong: a story is a unique thing to each individual author… but the underlying plot is a different animal; in fact it may have been used before, even in ancient days.
