The short version. I’ve got a couple of artists working on Loyalty of Severus artwork and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I’ve shown this image on social media in the past. It’s helped one of my artists–not saying who yet–put together an incredible piece of associated art. Varius looks incredible in the drafts I’ve seen, […]
Thanksgiving has never been my holiday. Too much emphasis on food and social gluttony, not enough focus on the radical notion of actually being thankful. This year has been different. While many have reached out asking for an address to send me holiday cards, there hasn’t been anything to make me feel like Thanksgiving is […]
We’re halfway through my busy October and I’ve finally sorted out a question I’ve been asking myself for a while: What will my Patreon tiers be when I reactivate my page? I’m in luck. There are finally some answers. Not all the answers, but a framework for what I plan to offer. General Support. Tip […]
I’ve warned a few friends already, but October 2021 is going to be a BUSY month for me. Here’s a simple accounting of why it’ll be busy. NaNoTribo. This is basically NaNoWriMo with a closer group of writers and spread over two months. Also, this is the second time I’ve done it this year. The […]
As I write this, I’m about half an hour from one of the longest drives I take in a given year, the road trip to Dragon Con in Atlanta, GA. For the record, yes, I still live in Missouri. It’s quite a drive. It’s worth it. This year, I’ve got a lot of things picked […]
I haven’t done the best job of keeping the world updated on what I’m doing. Oops. Let’s see if I can fix that. I’m shopping for cover artists. Yeah, I draw, but it’s more of a conceptual element for me. To see something, especially on my own, I’m going to need to up the art […]
I was going to pop in with this short, energetic post a few days ago: I’m due a victory lap. I’ve been submitting to Writers Of The Future for the better part of a decade. Each time, I’ve found myself gaining an Honorable Mention or nothing at all. The contest is anonymous, to make […]
This is my mascot, Akito the Red Panda. As of June 15, 2021, he’s more popular than I am–on Instagram. Want proof? Here are the bio screenshots for my account and Akito’s: Let’s break down what’s going on here. Using these bios, I can see that Akito is only one follower ahead of me. I […]
A few days ago, I posted across social media that I’d like to boost how many people are signed up for my author newsletter. One of the most famous offers is to offer those who sign up something to read. On June 1, 2021, I’m going to send a story to those who are on […]
With all the recent religious strife and wealthy televangelists in the news, I thought I’d take a moment and give the floor to an esteemed minister who just marked the fifth anniversary of becoming ordained. No, it’s not one of the Catholic Priests I know. It’s the the guy performing this wedding ceremony: Yes, that’s […]
