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

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
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!
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
For my grad school requirements, each semester we have to read and review four books. (I've posted many of them up here before.) So every once in a while, I can't find one of the books I want on the Barnes & Noble NOOK book shop, and I have to wander my way into a … Continue reading Writing Under a Pen Name
I'm not entirely certain what I expected to find in Elizabeth Gilbert's novel, The Signature of All Things. It sounds like it should be something philosophical, looking at the world from every perspective and showing how everything is connected. It looks like it should be a treatise of sorts, something deeply profound and worldly. … Continue reading Book Review – The Signature of All Things
This is another of my somewhat lazy blog posts, but I think it's a good reflection to put up here, especially given my silence in the blogging world this week. Again, this has been copy and pasted from my weekly inspirational newsletter. Contact me directly if you are interested in receiving the emails. I’ve struggled … Continue reading How to Write When You Can’t, or: Defeating the Kobayashi Maru
Again, I'm cheating a little, but I liked this topic. I send out a newsletter every Wednesday (which anyone is welcome to receive, if they don't already!) which tries to lend some mid-week inspiration to my fellow writers. After struggling with the topic myself for sometime, I've tackled the concept of taking advice. What follows … Continue reading Don’t Tell Me What to Think
Here comes a significantly more personal post than standard, but I think it's a good topic to touch on, since writers can deal with this in books just as much as they can in person--and most people won't quite get this right unless they've lived it, I think. This is an interesting post for me … Continue reading Friends Never Say Goodbye
Wow, sorry about ALL THE BLOG POSTS today - I would have spread out the reviews, but I copied the wrong link and then sent it in and theeeen had to post it today. SIGH. Planning is not my forte. IN ANY EVENT. Each week, I send out an inspirational email to anyone who'd like … Continue reading Making It a Habit
