Life isn’t sterile – your scenes shouldn’t be either. I’m a little biased because I’m practically blind and make up for that with good...

This started out as a simple rant post, but it actually made its way to a point somewhere in the writing, that whatever shit happens, it...

Right now I’m trying to do a big picture edit of The Gods Defense, just making sure the plot all makes sense and no subplots get cut off...

Stole this idea from a writer’s blog I love (http://ryanlanz.com/), and am posting my best and most popular blog posts on writing from...

At 98,500 words, after not really writing for four and a half years and then buckling down for a seriously busy two months, The Gods...

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...

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 need help.  One of the great things about Nanowrimo was the chart keeping track of your words.  You’d write and click on your word...

This is a quick shout out (aka brag 😉 to my boy, Oleg Volk.  http://olegvolk.net/blog/  He’s a photographer and creative designer,...

No, you’re not done!  You’re a writer.  There is no done.  There is simply the next chapter, next rewrite, next story. Nanowrimo is...

So, we’ve made it.  The last day of Nanowrimo, where you’re either celebrating, writing furiously to meet the finish line, or scowling at...

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...
