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?

Nanowrimo Update #2
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 Prep – Everything is Burning
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
A Small Reflection & Writing Stats
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
Review: NEON&CONCRETE Stories – Part 1
So, I've been following this series for awhile and since stumbling on it and falling in love with it's theme and mission, I became friends with the author behind it all, Richard Galbraith. He's a pretty cool guy, who has a lot of creative projections going on across several different social media platforms & sites. … Continue reading Review: NEON&CONCRETE Stories – Part 1
Review: Broadswords & Blasters #8
I had the pleasure of reading a recent issue of BROADSWORDS & BLASTERS for the post today and it has been awhile, since I was exposed to such a rich variety of pulp fiction! What a wild wild ride! I'm going to post a "mini" review of each story below, since they are all too … Continue reading Review: Broadswords & Blasters #8
2019: Writing Ahead
This is another post that I have been dragging my feet on. It's funny since I had conceptualized what my goals were in December, but then after the 1st of the year, I've had to already begin adapting and creating new targets as more hurdles emerged. I guess that's just what happens right? So, looking … Continue reading 2019: Writing Ahead
Review: Descender #1-6
This series was an unexpected surprise. I've been chugging through a lot of graphic novels/comics of late and this is one that I just have to take a moment and gush about. The Descender series by Jeff Lemire with art by Dustin Nguyen, is a fantastic space opera. While some of the thematic elements and tropes … Continue reading Review: Descender #1-6
Review: Borne
What a strange and wild ride. This was a really great read and anyone looking for a more "biotech" sort of dystopia, this has to be your first pick. Anyone willing to tolerate a bit of weird in the mix of their fiction, then you will be in good hands here, then again has Vandermeer … Continue reading Review: Borne
Review: Little Fires Everywhere
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng has to go in as my favorite book of 2019 so far. Wow. This was also my first audiobook of the year and by the end, I was so pleased to have made this the first one, although I wince at following this one up. Jennifer Lim narrated this … Continue reading Review: Little Fires Everywhere
