One time I wrote a scene where they play what is essentially a fantasy version of Dutch Blitz and it was some of the most fun I've had writing a scene.
little used fantasy trope i love: when two people are playing cards in a shady bar and it's the tense moment where they show their hand but it's a fantasy so they can't say things like "full house" or "royal flush" so they same some nonsense like "three crowns and a dead crow" and the crowd is like "oooOOHH" so we know that's good

Currently editing a piece for someone and wondering if they even know that the Enter key exists.
On the other hand they're paying me to hit Enter for them, so I can't really complain.
...
But like the Enter key DOES exist...
Paragraph breaks every time a new character speaks is sexy, remember to do them more often

Writing tip #5: The right length for a chapter is exactly equal to the length that feels like the right length for that chapter, whether that be 5 or 5,000 words. Your book, your rules.

Floating Basketballs
Ever find something so singularly striking that it sticks with you for years?
I first heard this song in high school, then forgot about it until about two weeks ago. Every few years, a couple lines might come to me, or I’d picture a scene or two from the video. But it wasn’t until tonight I looked it up and watched it again.

Contests and Cookies (REAL cookies)

WELL. I figure most writers go radio-silent after NaNoWriMo ends, but it’s February now, so I should probably post something.
This update is half- to tell you guys that after I wrote “The end” on E= mc Infinity , I plunged into a weird quiet space and haven’t been working on anything. The Tapas contest results should be released fairly soon (they said…

NaNoWriMo/contest end
Look up there ^ it’s my art! 😀
This is in celebration of the end of November, signaling the conclusion of a hellish entrapment in… National Novel Writing Month. Of course, I had loads of fun this month churning out another novel (I always do), and I’m happy to report that while E=mc Infinity is still in a more-or-less rough-draft stage, it is better than the first attempt!
It’s also a grand…

E=mc Infinity
What happens when the most powerful being in existence, who can travel not only through time, but across dimensions… is a 14-year old kid?
Stuff goes down, that’s what.
E=mc Infinity is a fantasy/sci-fi time-travel novel about what happens when Alexei unveils his powers to his two best friends, who are a human cop steeped in tragedy, and a hungry vampire who’s not allowed to feed. Except neither…

Try, try again

It’s been a pretty darn good year for me as a writer. I feel like I’ve really started to find my footing, and even though I haven’t quite achieved the dream yet, I feel like I’m getting closer and closer. But I’m not going to lie, coming close still stings.
Last week, I heard back from the Writers of the Future contest, and sadly, my story didn’t make it…

My novel is on the front page!
My novel is on the front page!
CHECK.
IT.
OUT.
Tapas.io has featured Object and Objective on the front page under Noteworthy Novels! It’s the first one!! THE F I R S T O N E.
Try it! Click here and scroll down!! (Of course, by all logic, eventually they’ll take OaO off that list, and the link won’t mean anything anymore, haha. WHO CARES? This is cool!)
I’m so astonished and thrilled and honored that they’ve done this for…

Object and Objective is a runner-up!
Object and Objective is a runner-up!
The Tapas Writer’s Camp winners have been announced! On August 17th, I was overjoyed to discover that Object and Objective was in the top 9 out of 123 entries, earning an honorable mention as a runner-up to the grand prizes.
This is super exciting for me, having never gotten quite so close to winning a competition like this, and best of all, the community (site editors included) have given me…

The Final Four: Chapters 28, 29, 30, and 31
The Final Four: Chapters 28, 29, 30, and 31. Start here: https://tapas.io/episode/1150295 #amwriting #scifi #objectandobjective THANK YOU!
…and that’s it! I have officially posted the final chapters of Object and Objective, just as the Writer’s Camp contest reaches its end, and my wits reach theirs. It’s been a long thirty-some days. I’m tired and need a break, and also so utterly happy that this story has found a home on a beautiful platform. This has been so much fun for me!
Thank you, of course, to everyone. You, my dear…

DOUBLE UPDATE: Chapters 26 + 27. Click to read: https://tapas.io/episode/1149293
We are closing in on the end of the contest, and these last few chapters are some of the most fun I’ve had writing in a long time. (Well, I wrote them a while ago, but they’re freshly-edited and have new details, so I’m still having a blast. N o p u n i n t e n d e d).
I’m going to be posting double updates each day through the end of the contest on Sunday! Thank you so much to everyone who…

I only need one more subscriber! Well, like any author, I would prefer a whole lot more, but I’m at 24 and I get some kind of milestone check-mark thingie when I reach 25! Any takers? I’ll give you a digital cookie…
Also, I went INSANE and broke the perspective pattern for this chapter. Just kidding, it was necessary, and you’ll see why when you read it.…
