Trope Tuesday: The Alliance
In fiction, the fight against the Empire usually follows a clear progression. First, you have the Resistance, a scrappy band of misfit freedom fighters who take up arms, barricade the streets, and fight back against all odds. Think Rogue One, or Les Miserables. If they aren’t immediately crushed, the Resistance eventually turns into the Alliance.… Continue reading Trope Tuesday: The Alliance
Early January Update
The holidays are over. Blergh. I don’t generally do well when my routine gets broken up by outside forces, which is why this blog has fallen by the wayside for the last week or so. I’m also not very good at creating structure in my life where none exists, so during times like the holidays… Continue reading Early January Update
Pantser vs. plotter? There is no such thing
I have come to the conclusion that the “pantsing vs. plotting” way of thinking about writing is as impractical and useless as nature vs. nurture, or talent vs. learned ability. Are you a pantser who discovery writes from the seat of his pants, or a plotter who has to outline every character, every plot point,… Continue reading Pantser vs. plotter? There is no such thing

Sorry for dropping off the face of the Earth
So this blog has been silent for a while—basically, ever since I said that the blog would be the last thing to get up to speed when I’m back to 100%. Don’t worry about me, I’m doing just fine. Right now, I’m finishing up A Queen in Hiding and getting it ready to send out… Continue reading Sorry for dropping off the face of the Earth
Back in Utah
So! It’s been a while since I updated this blog, and there’s actually a good reason for it. I quit my day job in Iowa a couple of weeks ago and just moved back to Provo. In other words, I made the pioneer trek in the wrong direction and repented. Driving across Wyoming, I got… Continue reading Back in Utah
Early October Update
Holy crap, so much to discuss. Where should I begin? First, the writing is coming along well. I’m doing a quick revision of Patriots in Retreat to get it ready for publication in January. It’s actually much better than I remember. Hopefully the same can be said of A Queen in Hiding, because I’m finishing… Continue reading Early October Update
