Alright, so: it’s been a little longer than usual since my last update. That means I’ve got more to share, right? Well, yes and no. It has been an eventful two weeks, I’ll admit that. I’ve got a fair bit done in that time. But on another level, the past little while has been slightly…

Alright, so this week, I thought I’d do something different. It likely won’t surprise any of you to learn my love of writing stems directly from my love of reading. My love affair with reading stretches way back: it’s one of the first things I was ever really passionate about, apart from culverts, entomology and…

Well, I’m one day late (thanks to the sometimes-patchy Wi-Fi at my place giving out yesterday), but nevertheless the time has come. So, what’ve I been up to this week, writing-wise? Well, to be honest, I’ve mostly just kept up what I was doing last week. The new Nightmares Inc. ending is going along OK…

Whoa, is it that time of week again already? Seems like I blinked and another week went by. To be honest, I very nearly forgot to write this week’s update: my studies and my personal life have both begun taking up more of my time, and more of my headspace. But, joy of joys, I…

It was another relatively lowkey week. That’s not to say I didn’t write anything: I got a fair bit done, actually. But, as I said in last week’s update, my plan was to take a short break and work on my Seven Years a Vikingmemoir. Well, tick one more goal off the checklist. Seven Years…

Hey all. Not much to update you on this week. Well, except for one teeny tiny thing: The Ravage is finished! Well, OK, the first draft of The Ravage is finished. As I’ve said before, this thing’s going to have to go through at least two edits before I’m even ready to show it to…

Hi there, folks. It’s that time of week again: time for the writing activities blow-by-blow. And this week…well. Some of you may know I have a tendency to understate things. It’s partly just how I’m wired, although part of it also comes from that raging inferiority complex (most artistic types have either an inferiority complex…

This week has been last week’s antithesis. As those of you who read last week’s update might recall, the week of January 6-12 was not the most productive for me. Thanks to travel hassles, and then both packing and just wanting to appreciate the remaining time with my family as much as possible, I barely…

OK, I’m goanna be honest here: I really don’t have much of an update for you all this week. I mean, I got a little further in The Ravage, so I guess that’s something. But by “a little further,” I really do mean a little further. Progress this week has been extremely limited, and my…

Well, here I am, back with the first writing update of 2023! I hope all you reading this had a restful and renewing holiday. I know I certainly did, at least in terms of writing: I was a bit exhausted at the time of the last update, but now I’m ready to get back to…
