Goodbye, 2025

Ouroboros has caught its tail and started its feast. The year has come to a close, and the next has begun. With 2025 now in the rearview mirror, I would like to share some highlights of my year. In no particular order: Here’s to 2026. Let’s try not to destroy each other.

The Works of S Lightfoot: Haven the Sentinel

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, readers! Throughout 2025, I worked on this new short story. It stated as an idea for a Dungeons & Dragons character but evolved into more. I hope you enjoy it! The Dwarven realm of Kom Malduhr had been known for its proficiency in crafting the finest jewelry. The wealthiestContinue reading “The Works of S Lightfoot: Haven the Sentinel”

Autumnal Spirit: A Short Story

It was sometime in autumn, though what month I can’t quite recall. We still lived in the old house in my hometown where I grew up, before the extra burden of housing my second-oldest brother and his family overwhelmed my parents and started our string of moves. The house had been built in the earlyContinue reading “Autumnal Spirit: A Short Story”

014 NaNoWriMo 2024

So, NaNoWriMo, huh? National Novel Writing Month. There are two parts to it: the writing challenge, and the organization. The writing challenge portion of it started back in 1999 when writer Chris Baty and his friends in the San Francisco Bay area decided to tackle the idea of writing 50,000 words in a month. ItContinue reading “014 NaNoWriMo 2024”

2023 Reading List Review

What did you read this year? Have you read any of these books?

The Works of S Lightfoot: Drake’s Demise

The following is a written translation of a modern oral history from the Elven colony Hameau d’Ailéver. The farmers awoke on a chilly spring morning to find a few of their cattle had disappeared. A runaway every now and then was normal, but three gone by sunrise was odd. A party gathered to search forContinue reading “The Works of S Lightfoot: Drake’s Demise”

013 NaNoWriMo 2023: Week One

Here we are at the end of the first week of NaNoWriMo! Taking some time off from work certainly helped, though I didn’t write as much as I wanted to with my extra time. I am still struggling with getting started each day, which affects my final word count of the day, but I’m determinedContinue reading “013 NaNoWriMo 2023: Week One”

012 NaNoWriMo 2023: Week Zero

Call me a clumsy athlete, because I dropped the ball. Last year for NaNoWriMo, I announced I would continue to work on Incinerate. Well, I did, but I didn’t post any updates AND I fell short of the 50,000 word goal by a lot. At the end of the month, I only ended up withContinue reading “012 NaNoWriMo 2023: Week Zero”

011 – Updates and Thoughts

So, it’s been a couple weeks now since my last post. I thought that today would be a good time to update everyone on things as of late, so here we go. Smallville Comic Con was great! I sold about half of my stock of The Rokkoh Adventures, and of course my friend Jody, whoContinue reading “011 – Updates and Thoughts”
