Winds of the North is my upcoming solitaire gamebook set in Viking Age Scandinavia. It’s a huge sandbox game with lots to do likeContinue reading “Winds of the North 1.0 Progress Update”

Writing Update
It’s been a while, so I thought I’d throw an update on my writing up. I’m still going to both writing groups, one meets once a month on a Thursday and the other is weekly (recently moved to Tuesday). Sadly, the recent Thursday meetup for October, which was going to be a horror-themed session, wasContinue reading “Writing Update”
More Writing Meetups — Mar. 28/Apr. 1, 2024 & Learning Japanese
Last week, I went to my second monthly writer’s group meetup on Thursday. It was a much smaller meetup this time with only 6 of us compared to around 15 last time (Easter weekend was right around the corner and the lousy weather might have had something to do with it). But it was aContinue reading “More Writing Meetups — Mar. 28/Apr. 1, 2024 & Learning Japanese”
Critique Circle — A Place for Writers
Over the past several years, while trying to pursue writing, my biggest hurdle was getting quality feedback to help me improve. If you’re not in college with access to professors or professional editors, it’s kind of a Wild West. I started in an online writing group which wasn’t too bad but it was short-lived. IContinue reading “Critique Circle — A Place for Writers”
Writing Group – Feb. 22, 2024
Yesterday, I attended my first local writing group meeting. Outside of school, I’ve never been in an in-person writing group. I was in an online writing group for a bit, and it worked pretty well, but it didn’t last long before activity waned. I had been trying to get some feedback on Facebook writing groups,Continue reading “Writing Group – Feb. 22, 2024”
My Review Process
Since making my website, I’ve done many more reviews and developed my own format and process. I thought I’d share what is, at the moment, how I write reviews and decide scores. The Sum of its Parts No matter what I’m reviewing, I give a brief summary of what it is. For books or movies,Continue reading “My Review Process”
Update: Projects and Reviews
Posts have been light lately; I’ve been very focused on work. And yesterday, I had a bit of website work to do because I upgraded my account and I now have a real domain! There are a few other things I get with the upgrade, but the domain is the biggest. The Dawnless Valley PlaytestContinue reading “Update: Projects and Reviews”
Beta Reading: Dusk Comes to Castle Túrrea
I am looking for beta readers for a 3600-word, dark fantasy short story. Dusk Comes to Castle Túrrea Castle Túrrea has guarded the river Wernweg for generations, but the new Herzog might be the last if the dire omens looming over the castle prove to be true. To join in on the beta reading, emailContinue reading “Beta Reading: Dusk Comes to Castle Túrrea”
Update: Upcoming Reviews, Writing, RPG Contest
Just a quick update on some things coming up for October. Movie Reviews I used to write movie reviews several years ago on an MMO website used by my friends and me, usually just short rants/thoughts on horror movies. Now that I have my own website and have been filling it with other reviews, IContinue reading “Update: Upcoming Reviews, Writing, RPG Contest”
(Update) Call for Beta Readers! “Last Light Out”
I’ve extended the time frame to two weeks. It’s only 9k words which can be read in one sitting. Two weeks to read it and leave feedback should be plenty of time. I’m really hoping to get some beta readers. It’s difficult to work without them! Speculative fiction horror story. 9,000 words long. Last LightContinue reading “(Update) Call for Beta Readers! “Last Light Out””
