Alright, first of all, sorry about the neglect the past two weeks.  I’m home for the holidays (check the pretty pretty pic) and they have...

(Picture of the Vandy Law Class of 2013 on our first day of law school.  Babies, just babies.) This is a poem I wrote at the end of 1L...

So, this is another “cop-out” post.  Where instead of coming up with stuff on writing, hashing out my process, or just plain ranting, I...

I don’t know about you, but I’ve got a bad case of the Mondays.  It’s the first day of the last week I have to work this year and I’m...

A little while ago I posted an article on the law for writers.  It got lonnnnnng, so long that people told me it was too difficult to...

I recently joined Scribophile.com and one of the groups is on fighting.  Basically writer’s discussing weapons and how to write...

No!  Not again.  I moan, I whine, I rend garments.  My brain is wrung out like a junkie.  See?  I’m mixing my similes over here.  It’s...

This is a pep talk from Jim Butcher from the final week of Nanowrimo.  It is quite possibly my favorite one, not surprising since I love...

I hit 50,000 words today, and won Nano! Not done yet though.  I have hit the final battle, the climax of the novel, and probably have...

I am saying this up front, I am BAD at setting.  I will do a quick description like living room, and move on because I like action and...

In the Nashville chatroom, we have a computer bot named Timmy that is creepily good at responding to us.  We’ll post and he’ll talk to...

So you’ve been writing your novel for Nanowrimo and you’ve been chugging along, churning out words every day.  Maybe you fell behind a...

Have you ever watched a show or read a book where the characters are in your profession and the writers just get so many things wrong?  I...

Hey guys, I’m saying up front nothing in this post is my work and I claim none of it (I make that so obvious to satisfy the lawyer in me...

I’ve been doing Nano this month and so far I’m not quite keeping up but I’m doing pretty damn good for someone with a full time job, LSAT...

Alright, I didn’t want to do this because I have a severe fear of commitment and failure, but the best way to get myself to actually do...
