Back in December, Lydia Schoch nominated me for a Liebster Award. Unfortunately, I was caught in the whirlwind of preparations for the holiday season, and I didn’t get a chance to respond to the nomination until just now. I’m both thrilled and flattered that Lydia found my blog worth mentioning. We have been sharing each …
As I’ve mentioned several times, I participate in a monthly table top gaming group across skype. The game’s primary GM is really good at challenging me to do new things with my characters. Several months ago we started working on a behind-the-scenes incident with one of my characters so that certain things would be set …
You’ve probably participated in, or at least seen by now, the Facebook meme which prompts you to share seven pictures from your every day life, one each day for a week. I never really considered participating, until a friend tagged me saying that she wanted to see what the everyday life of a writer looked …

I’ve talked a bit already about changing the release schedule for Eternity’s Empire, but as we wind down the year I have one more announcement about the future of the series. As I’ve mentioned several times, Eternity’s Empire is going …
I’ve done two rounds of Seven Deadly Sins prompts, mostly because I have such a large pool of characters to draw from. While flipping through other prompt suggestions, I happened to find a list of the Seven Heavenly Virtues (which seem to get a lot less press). In case you’ve never heard of them, they …
I’ve noticed a disturbing trend among video game plots lately. Writers start down a path, digging their fingers into the dirt and grime of untouched territory, only to pull back at the last moment.
