On the Subject of Books

So I came across something on Tumblr the other day which really set me off. Someone had shared a picture which said "No one should be shamed for reading" and it had a picture of a little paper book and an e-book reader holding hands. Very cute. With the reblog, the poster says, "YES. I’m … Continue reading On the Subject of Books

Inspiration Wednesday: Other Authors

All right, I promise that one of these days I'll stop harping on and on about one author over and over again. But I wanted to write this up, and this seems like a good enough place. It almost takes over Thursday's post about writing as well, but I won't let it. But the simple … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesday: Other Authors

Book Review: Spots the Space Marine

This is an interesting review to write. It's very long coming (since I finished it probably months ago now), and it's not a style of book I've read often, but it's M.C.A. Hogarth, and...well, if you've been around long enough, you know my opinion on her. (If you haven't, it's that I'll read anything Micah … Continue reading Book Review: Spots the Space Marine

Inspiration Wednesday – Motion pt. 2

So I talked last week about a little thing you can do in order to keep your mood up and get the writing flowing. Dancing is always good for that. It's low space-needing, and pretty much everyone has either an mp3 player or access to Youtube. (Or some other way of getting music. Not knocking … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesday – Motion pt. 2

Book in Review: A Game of Thrones

So I finally finished this book. (Actually I finished it a while ago, and then Real Life came and bit me in the butt and I didn't write a blog about it, so here we go now.) I'm not doing this as a proper book review, because I'd really like to try and review this … Continue reading Book in Review: A Game of Thrones

Debrief: Anthrocon

So I know this isn't quite my normal thing to talk about, but it's justified and I think a cool idea, especially for authors trying to find their footing and wrangle themselves an audience. So I'm going to give you a debrief on what I got to do and experience while at Anthrocon in Pittsburgh. … Continue reading Debrief: Anthrocon

Inspiration Wednesdays: Dance Break!

I've decided to move my old inspiration newsletter to a blog post instead, thus consolidating and making for a better archive. The standard format will change a bit, however, now that it's on the blog. Since Thursdays are usually set aside for writing help and tips of the trade, as it were, I'm not going … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesdays: Dance Break!

Started Series: A Song of Ice and Fire

Since I have been reminded over and over again by my dear friend and fellow author Patrick Martyn (and several others), I am making a pointed effort to get all the names right here. (Patrick, you better appreciate all of this.) So some time probably in the middle of last month, I started reading the … Continue reading Started Series: A Song of Ice and Fire
