Weekend Roundup: September 21-27
Tweet of the Day: The Writing on the Wall ——- “The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry,” perfectly describes this weeks posting. It got to a good start on Sunday, but events beyond my control ensured that I ran out of steam by Tuesday. It happens, it happens often and it […]
Weekend Roundup: February 16-22
Tweet of the Day: Dragons, Wyverns and Lucifer in General ——- It has been…well a rather boring week. Yes, that explains the lack of posts, I think.

Weekend Roundup: January 26 – February 1
Tweet of the Day: Growing Weary ——- Reviewing this week posts I am reminded of the elasticity of time, or should I say, the elasticity of our perception of time. One moment a hour crawls by then the next a month or even a year has disappeared. We live the moment today only to […]

To wit, my insistence on sticking with the internal logic/consistency of a work could lead to the very death of the work. How […]

Space for Rent: The History of Story Endings in Video Games
Tweet of the Day: Does Your Story Need Subplots? ——– And what it can teach us about our writing. History time children! Back in the olden days of video games, where quarters and cartridges ruled, all you had to do was sit in front of the screen, drop a coin (or plug in a cartridge) […]
Weekend Roundup: November 12-19
