The following is a scheduled post. I’ve set it for close to a month after I reached the decision stated here. That you are reading it means nothing has happened in that timeframe to change my mind. Hello, readers mine. I always felt that this day would come. I’m thankful to you all for standing […]
Hello, readers mine. I’ll keep this brief–I’ve been trying not to write too much here for the last few weeks so as to avoid injecting another white voice into a conversation where, rightly, I should serve mostly as a signal booster. June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month, however, and as a transwoman I would be remiss […]
If you could not tell from the title, readers mine, I’m attempting another essay today. I should clarify that I don’t believe this will be comprehensive; it cannot. I suspect it shall nonetheless run rather long! You see, today I offer my candid perspectives about several pivotal fantasy authors: three definitively high and the other […]
Hello, readers mine! I’ll keep this short because I’d like to take it easy today–through the link in the end of this sentence, The Necromancer and the Revenant: Resurrected Edition is now available on Smashwords! As per Smashwords policy and my own preference, I’ve made the first 15%, or somewhere close to 33,000 words, available to […]
My esteemed readers! I bring, in effect, not one but two new book announcements for you today! The first may seem like cheating initially: The Necromancer and the Revenant: Resurrected Edition! And yes, that title absolutely wrote itself. Before you kindle your ire under the reasonable suspicion that I am a filthy layabout double-dipping into your […]
All fantasy settings in the Twin Spirals Universe started from a piece of Neverwinter Nights fanfiction. Specifically, it was fanfiction for a certain kobold bard who first appeared in Shadows of Undrentide and went on to play a prominent role in Hordes of the Underdark. That is, if you chose to recruit him. You could also not […]
Hello, readers mine! Some of you have doubtless noticed it’s been deadly silence here on the blog for a fair while. Has work kept me that busy? In a word, yes, though it’s not the paid variety. That is, not yet; my work has gone dormant, so I’m not reviewing scripts at the moment. (EDIT: […]
Did you know, readers mine, that humans naturally feel an urge either to pick fights with or get away from people they do not like? Because, apparently, a statistically-significant percentage of writers are too dense to understand that. Both in my work as a script reviewer and elsewhere, I see the same problem appear far […]
Hello, everyone! We’re between batches on a Friday again, so before I return to working on The Necromancer and the Reaping Spear, I wanted to try this new class of article out and see whether there’s demand for it. It’s like the Wheel of Archetypes which scholars say spun for a brief time during the Non-Sparkly Era, […]
Four days ago (less a few hours), I posted an advice article titled simply, Writing Female Characters, Take Two. That seems to have gone over well; however, as of today I had to go back and update it with an extra disclaimer at the start. And believe me, the irony of having waited until some […]
