2017 Reading List Requests
Hey gang. So, I put together a loose reading list every year. If I had to break it down, it is usually 50% fantasy, 25% horror, 15% sci-fi, and 10% non-fiction or other. Some years are better than others, in terms of following up. There never is enough time...

Scrivener Sync Conflicts

Writer with Benifits
Alright I’m a couple of days late. I said I would post on the 8th but for me that was a Saturday and I don’t write on the weekend. Saturday and Sunday are for spending time with family and socialising with friends and generally catching up on all the...
Becoming a Writer

Old Story, Old Posting
I don’t know how I missed this. A while back–like four months ago–I had a story posted up at the wargaming site Grogheads.com. Titled, “Just When I Thought I Was Out,” the story involves an aged magician’s gambit against some dark forces working against him. I knew about this...
An update
Okay so mini rant time. I wrote my last post about blocks and my personal strategies to overcome them, I powered through the chapter I was working on, get halfway through the next and…drum-roll please…nothing. Damn you karma why must you afflict me so when I don’t believe in...
