Being a Better Writer: Should You Read the “Pillars” of Sci-Fi/Fantasy? · 8:46pm Mar 13th, 2023
Good afternoon readers! Yes, I know today’s post is a little late. Just a tad. And that’s for a reason. The same reason, in fact, it might be a bit rougher than normal: I’m ill today, but didn’t feel like skipping a week of Being a Better Writer. So my mind is a little muddled.

Being a Better Writer: Is Three a “Magic Number?” · 8:52pm Jun 19th, 2023
Welcome back, writers! It’s Monday again, and Emancipation Day atop that! Which is a new enough holiday that I think I’ll just forgo any break and work like normal. Especially since I really want to be writing Axtara – Magic and Mayhem right now.

Welcome back, writers! Bit by bit, things return to what’s regularly scheduled. Work on Axtara – Magic and Mayhem has resumed, Being a Better Writer is finally coming at the usual rate again, and I’m kicking out a nasty flu that has long overstayed its welcome.

Whoa! Late post today! Don't worry, it wasn't because I was slacking off. The opposite, actually.
