Hey everyone! My wife and I are currently on a tour of the American Southwest. The last two nights we have been in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. Today we are heading out to Amarillo, Texas.

As a would-be fantasy author, I love … Continue reading Worldgasm: Why Worldbuilding? →

The Noob Dungeon Master: You Start in a Town

Writing Chronicles: Why do I Write?

You sit sometimes for hours or days at a time struggling to squeeze every bit of creative juice into words. Then you take this word-juice pulp and try to blend it into some sort of readable smoothie of sentences hoping your readers develop a love for the flavor and come back for more. The reader … Continue reading Writing Chronicles: Why do I Write? →
