As you may have noticed, I haven’t been doing any updates aside from the occasionally social media posts. Life kind of foisted a hiatus on me while various tasks and jobs demanded attention from me. Winter is tough anyway, what with seasonal affective disorder giving me a good one-two. But the days are getting longer
So today I finally got episode 3 online. I missed an episode at the end of November due to having my voice destroyed by a headcold that would’ve made Sauron hope to never be reincarnated. The bounce back wasn’t so… bouncy, so I ended up a few days late on this episode. So it goes,
So, I didn’t get much writing done at Pennsic. That was sort of expected. What I didn’t expect was to get much writing done at Steel City Con this past weekend. Not only did I write a lot, I was finally able to work through the last parts of the book. Meaning, the first draft
Something I don’t think I’ve mentioned on this blog yet is my participation in the SCA. For those who don’t know what it is, the SCA is a historical recreation organization that focuses on fun, community, and education. There’s a lot of neat stuff to do, and I tend towards historical fencing (with rapiers, longswords,

This past weekend was the spring Steel City Comicon here in Pittsburgh. Because it was scheduled the same time as Tekko (the big anime convention in the region) a friend of mine, Dan, was in a tough spot: he relies on both conventions to earn enough money to get through the quarter, but he’s only
In about one hour it will be November 1st. In the writing world, that means it’s National Novel Writing Month! If you’re unfamiliar with NaNoWriMo, it’s a non-profit organization that promotes writing by challenging people to write a whole novel in a single month. To be more specific, the challenge is to write 50,000 words
Something that just came across my radar is the trailer for a new film titled “Arrival” which was released last Tuesday by Paramount Pictures. Obviously trailers are only a contorted glimpse of the final film, and marketing teams have been known to botch how a film is presented in its trailers before (eg, the “Lady
My last year in review was titled “Is it over yet?” because there was just SO. MUCH. And the vast majority of it (can we say all?) was good. Well, 2015 was easily the opposite of that. The year opened with death. Lots of death. That is, relatively speaking, if you’ll pardon such a morbid
What Are You Reading Today? Today is Read Across America Day, an event run by the National Education Association. It’s not an official national holiday like Labor Day, but it’s an important day none the less because on March 2nd we take some time to remember how important it is to get kids
