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

So, after the first four days of #Nanowrimo, I can tell that this is going to be a slog by the end.

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 / PylesofBooks / 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

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 / PylesofBooks / 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

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 / PylesofBooks / 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

Review: The Stone Sky

June 26, 2018June 25, 2018 / PylesofBooks / 1 Comment

So, in case you aren't up to speed with this triology you can refer back to the reviews I did on The Fifth Season and The Obelisk Gate. This is also my first review concerning any of the Hugo novel finalists. I just found out yesterday that The Stone Sky won the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel and boy … Continue reading Review: The Stone Sky
