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”

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”

010 – My first event!

So, I did a thing. A month ago, my friend Jody reached out to me. He runs a really awesome shop called Clark’s Collectible & Comics up in Plano, IL. If you’re ever in the area or are looking for a little road trip, I highly recommend stopping by. He’s got a ton of coolContinue reading “010 – My first event!”

009 – About the Author

Lately, my mind has been gravitating towards things on the peripherals of the writing process. Sure, the actual writing process is the meat and bones of the beast, but there’s also cover art (I’ve been playing around with alternate ideas for Incinerate), formatting (page, margin, and font size options), and the fun little quip onContinue reading “009 – About the Author”

008 NaNoWriMo 2022: Day Zero

The time has come once again for National Novel Writing Month, better known as NaNoWriMo! Every year in the month of November, writers from all around the world set their sights on writing 50,000 words of a new writing project or a work in progress. And what does one receive upon reaching such a milestone?Continue reading “008 NaNoWriMo 2022: Day Zero”

Poetry 005 – Untitled II

I’m not always the best at coming up for titles for things, least of all poetry. Hence another untitled piece this week. Two worlds once one Separated by opportunity Yet a heart remains Icarus yearns ever for his precious Sunshine  as he crashes into the deep Praying Loving Drowning The dichotomy of human nature TheContinue reading “Poetry 005 – Untitled II”

007 Resolutions

The new year has begun, and we are waist-deep in January. Every year, we all set our personal goals for the months to come. Some sink, some swim, some grow wings and fly. I’m happy enough to just float down the river. So here are my resolutions for 2022! ·         WriteContinue reading “007 Resolutions”

Poetry 004 – Happy Birthday

Wow, last week’s post was a bit long, wasn’t it? How about we change it up a little for this week? Another piece of poetry! Sometimes it’s the best way to express our thoughts, opinions, or how we feel about someone. I hope you enjoy this little piece! Happy Birthday to you, monster in theContinue reading “Poetry 004 – Happy Birthday”
