This past week has been eventful, in a good way, thankfully. Birthdays, a job interview, and some nice progress on writing my Blood Maiden WIP. Have even been thinking about picking up drawing again, but it’s still…hard, to get started. I guess I didn’t stop for nothing, but I’d like to break the cycle. For… Read More Progress Update W20: Blood Maiden and Worldbuilding Impact of Culture on Magic Systems
I love speculative fiction. I love writing it, and I love reading it, especially when it’s high on fantasy and mixes in elements of other genres. Worldbuilding is an important aspect for plenty of speculative fiction writers but there are varying ways to approach this. My approach is to have rich worldbuilding, but a density… Read More Writing Progress Update: W16 The Blood Maiden’s Covenant
We’re deep into what our prime minister calls an “intelligent lockdown”, which boils down to advising people to stay the fuck at home. Which I’ve been trying to do as much as possible for a while now. While there are more people who don’t take it seriously enough or struggle to not leave the house,… Read More My April Writing Goals
| My March Writing Goals | 2020’s writing bucket list | (All) Writing Progress Updates | It’s a weird time to be alive today. During this global crisis, we all need something to escape into so we don’t succumb to the stress. Writing helps me. It helps air out my grievances, explore and express. Still the stress has been eating at… Read More Writing Progress Update: W13
Spring is around the corner but it’s still cold and stormy out. It is getting lighter though and that helps with the early morning drives to work. But, I’m not here to talk about the weather. Here’s are my reflections on how this month has gone write-wise, including wordcounts and setting new goals for March.… Read More My March Writing Goals

Though I reflect on my own actions and life often, I don’t do it every year to reflect over a year’s worth of accomplishments. Part of it is because I have a poor sense of time and digging up memories on command is hard. I often can’t recollect simple questions I know very well, like… Read More Reflecting on my 2019
Another month has gone by. One with heatwaves, explosive lightning storms and busy ass working schedules, but I survived. Things went well in terms of writing as well. Feel pretty accomplished as I recently finished the third draft for MEET ME HALFWAY and started editing for its fourth. My total wordcount for this month ended… Read More My September Writing Goals
This month of July I survived the heatwaves and while joining Camp NaNoWriMo finished the second draft for the first prequel to IN GOOD COMPANY (a.k.a. SALT)! I set the goals low so they remained attainable instead of intimidating so much it’d become hindering. Counting only words written for WIPs, I wrote about 16.000 words… Read More Writing progress update: July W31
