Update: 2020 – Relaunch?

November 30, 2020November 27, 2020 / Alexander Pyles / 1 Comment

So, I realize I've been silent for quite a while. Well, I mean not really if you check out my Twitter. I haven't posted any book reviews since February and not even a single writing/reading update since then either. I wanna talk about that and what I hope to do for the future of my … Continue reading Update: 2020 – Relaunch?

Okay, so this is update #2 obviously and this week has been much more of a slog than the first couple days, but I'm getting it done! I'm exhausted and I'm getting words on paper, in fact I just got done with my session tonight. Here are my daily counts for this week with the … Continue reading Nanowrimo Update #2

Nanowrimo Update #1

November 5, 2019November 4, 2019 / Alexander Pyles / Leave a comment

So, after the first four days of #Nanowrimo, I can tell that this is going to be a slog by the end. I'll be posting these updates every Tuesday until the end of the month, just to keep me accountable and keep you all updated. I'll have the stats from the past week posted below … Continue reading Nanowrimo Update #1

Nanowrimo Prep – Everything is Burning

October 29, 2019October 28, 2019 / Alexander Pyles / Leave a comment

As I've stated a few times on twitter, I'm planning on doing National Novel Writing Month, in order to produce a slim rough draft of a brand new novel. I'll be honest, I'm still hammering out the details and various plot points as I'm outlining, but it does feel like this is already on fire … Continue reading Nanowrimo Prep – Everything is Burning

Book Release: Monsters

And here is another Black Hare press anthology, you all should know the drill by now! I have five micro fiction stories in this one and a few I'm honestly pretty proud of. I'll have the list below like always. As with the other anthologies, I'm alongside 100+ other authors and their terrifying little yarns. … Continue reading Book Release: Monsters

A Small Reflection & Writing Stats

August 6, 2019August 5, 2019 / Alexander Pyles / Leave a comment

So, I'm going to do something different with this writing update and talk about how I started writing. I honestly haven't given it much thought, so this is as good as any to wax a bit on that escalation of events. This was also partly inspired by a friend who recently gave an update on … Continue reading A Small Reflection & Writing Stats

Book release: WORLDS

June 25, 2019June 21, 2019 / Alexander Pyles / Leave a comment

Today is release day for the anthology which I am in! It has been a long time, since I have been in an anthology and I'm thrilled that I was accepted into it. So, if you noticed my updated "Publications page" you'll find this anthology listed there, since I have a handful of micro fiction … Continue reading Book release: WORLDS

2018: A Review

December 31, 2018December 31, 2018 / Alexander Pyles / Leave a comment

So, this is much overdue and I won't even be able to cover everything that I want to cover here, like reading/writing stats and everything else. (I'll cover this in January.) What I do want to take a moment to reflect on is everything that happened in 2018 and what I am looking forward to in … Continue reading 2018: A Review
