"What do you mean, I'm doing it wrong?"

Human beings, being mortal creatures, are bound to mess things up sooner or later. This is true in every endeavor an individual undertakes. And sometimes, it falls to others to inform us that we’re incorrect in the manner with which we’ve been proceeding. In other words, sooner or later, you’re going to be told you’re… Continue reading "What do you mean, I'm doing it wrong?"

Jotting in the Margins: On Toilet Paper & Pigeons

Storytellers are creative folk. They create something out of nothing. The entire world of Middle-Earth, for example, sprang from the notes jotted down by J.R.R. Tolkien in the trenches of the first World War. The magical world parallel to our own that seems to have a school called Hogwart’s at its center would not exist… Continue reading Jotting in the Margins: On Toilet Paper & Pigeons

Works in Progress IV: Now With Pictures!

I don’t want to be the kind of writer who blames an abstract personification for their shortcomings.

They’ve chosen the timeless,… Continue reading Desert Bus '09

I’ve been commissioned to write a Pathfinder adventure of 8-10k words, which I’m chipping away at with the hope of having something to deliver by the end of the week.… Continue reading Works in Progress III: Video Crossroads

Works In Progress II: Electric Boogaloo

So between items I need to fix for my day job, here’s a few snapshots of things I’d rather be doing with my time this morning. Poor Lighthouse. I keep meaning to bang out more words in that novel but other things keep coming up. It’s only going to be an e-book, sure, but it’s… Continue reading Works In Progress II: Electric Boogaloo

Spit 'n' Polish: GameX

So this thing happened to me over the weekend. Here are some of the highlights. Yes, that’s me with Yahtzee of Zero Punctuation and Paul & Graham of Unskippable over at The Escapist. If you think that Yahtzee is unapproachable or caustic because of his yellow-background minimalist Internet persona, you’re a moron. Paul & Graham… Continue reading Spit 'n' Polish: GameX
