Continue reading →: A Year Of SandersonAround the tail end of the pandemic when things were starting to get back to normal, one of my friends sent me a link to this video. In it, a well-known fantasy author I was familiar with (and moderately disposed toward) appeared to be making an apology. I shrugged, planned…

Books 1-3: The Beginning (Side note: if you haven’t read part 1, it’s here.) I read Lord of the Rings right before launching into WoT and am glad I did. It’s hard to read fantasy without seeing Tolkien’s influence, but WoT feels almost like a new world in an adjacent…

In my last post, I mentioned I read this series over the last year. I want to expand on that because these books had a profound impact on me. I’ve read a LOT of stories over the course of my life so far, especially in the fantasy genre. I love…

Oh boy it’s been a while since the last update. Certainly that’s not because Things and Stuff have been happening!

I’ve read this story before. Not this exact one of course, but the general idea of it. I’ve gone through perhaps a dozen books over the years with similar concepts, few of which I recall distinctly or even fondly. So, when I picked up enough clues to “figure out” what…

A.K.A. one of the finest headlines I’ve ever read. Just look at it: After high-speed chase over border, Oregon police seize meth and … invasive snails The story within is every bit as wild as you might imagine. From police saying they finished the chase by finding quote “a small…

After a year of feeling like life was kicking me directly in the teeth, you think I would have gotten used to it, huh? Well, after a crazy month we’re back at it again. Here’s a quick update: Whatcha watching: Star Wars: The Bad Batch Even as a big Star…

Oh boy, so you wrote a thing! (Congrats by the way). Now, what to do with it? (I’m asking this for myself by the way. Hell if I know.) See, this is the part where I get stuck. I’ve got projects and stories and ideas bursting out of me at…
