Planning a full year of work might seem like a bit of a fool’s errand. After all, something is bound to happen which will blow up my plans. We live in what feels like a truly destabilized time, and last year was one of my worst in recent memory. But with all that in mind, the only thing we have control over is ourselves. I really want this year to be better, and for me, feeling better has always involved storytelling.

Writing Partner: A Tunneling Terror
I’ve had to dig deep and stay on task to accomplish this goal. Long shifts in the old editing mines are harsh, though. It’s dangerous down there in the dark. So it’s best to go in with a partner.
Writing Partner: A Froggy Friend
Ok, I can admit when I’m wrong. I was wrong about this guy.
Writing Partner: Working on a Character
After a couple of weeks off, I’m back to work. This time, on a pair of outlines. I have one for the book I want to write for NaNoWriMo and another for the one I’m working on in the meantime. Beyond basic plotting I also have to wrap my mind around a bunch of new characters. For a job like this, I’ll need the help of someone who is a real character themselves.

I just finished (hopefully) the last bit of net new content for my novel. So now allContinue reading “Writing Partner: A Milestone”
Writing Through a Heatwave
I’m not sure how many of you are in my general geographical area, but I’m currently toughing through a bit of a heatwave. I’m not very good at dealing with the heat. I prefer to live at about 18 degrees Celsius, when things approach 40 I’m having a very bad time. It has been challengingContinue reading “Writing Through a Heatwave”

She’s finished. Here is the new centerpiece for my wife’s Age of Sigmar Army!
Writing Partner: Dragging this out – part 2
When we last spoke, I was working away on my editing and painting baby dragons. I only mentioned one, but I wanted to test out two paint schemes for the mother dragon. I wanted pink to be the contrasting color, but I wasn’t sure if the primary color should be black or white.
Here are the results of my testing:
Writing Partner: Dragging this out
As promised, I have finished constructing my new writing partner, and I must say, it is a majestic piece.
