Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! A combination of events derailed my creative writing this week.

Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! Vivian’s Last Cigarette had a great deal of editing movement this week, specifically last Wednesday.

Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! I met my goal of getting the first act to a third draft state by Friday night last week. As soon as I was done, I sent it off to my third reader. Lauren is a great writer and online... Continue Reading →
Throwback Thursday: Firepower by Den Beauvais (1989)
This gem by Canadian artist Den Beauvais graced the cover of Dragon Magazine #143 (March, 1989).

Twenty Sixteen: What It Meant to Me

A lot of bad things happened, a lot of beloved people died, and a lot of events were put into motion that place the fate of Twenty-Seventeen under ominous clouds. All the same though, I remember and say this: Events are always in motion. People... Continue Reading →
Throwback Thursday: Loreena McKennitt – God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
From Loreena McKennitt's 1995 album "A Winter Garden", available for listening in full here. This is my hands down favorite version of this carol. The whole album, while short, is excellent in my opinion. It's been in my collection since its year of release, when I got it as a free sample over a hard,... Continue Reading →
