[Author’s Note: This is an AI-assisted rough draft, so it’s still got a lot of issues that are going to be worked out before the final draft. The genre is post-apocalyptic / end-times fiction, and I plan to publish this novel under my pen name J.M. Wight.] The late spring air was dry and pleasant,… Continue reading WIP Excerpt: The Road to New Jerusalem, Chapter 1

WIP Excerpt: The End of Elysium, Chapter 1
I am really excited about this WIP. Ever since I wrote the short story “The End of Elysium,” I thought it would make a good novel—and now, with the help of AI, I’m able to make that a reality while juggling all of my other writing projects! What follows is the AI-assisted draft of the… Continue reading WIP Excerpt: The End of Elysium, Chapter 1
Operation SB #4: The Curse of the Lifewalker
Title: The Curse of the Lifewalker Genre: Post-Apocalyptic Word Count: 4,340 Time: 1 day (sort of) So after “L’enfer, c’est la solitude,” I was kind of in a short story mood for a couple of days and decided to bang out another one. This one is actually an adaptation from my novel Lifewalker, a post-apocalyptic… Continue reading Operation SB #4: The Curse of the Lifewalker
Ghost King by David Gemmell
Another review of a David Gemmell book? Yes, because I’m just that much of a fanboy. With the Drenai series finished, I decided to sink my teeth into the Stones of Power series. This series confuses me, because I’ve read The Jerusalem Man, which was retroactively put in as book three, but that’s a post-apocalyptic… Continue reading Ghost King by David Gemmell

So I have a bunch of ideas for blog posts I’d like to write, and I’ll probably get around to them eventually, but I thought I’d drop a line now just to let you all know what I’ve been up to. It’s been a pretty good week, with some decent progress on the current WIP… Continue reading Cooking adventures and an awesome webcomic
Trope Tuesday: After the End
It’s the end of the world as we know it … so why do we feel fine? On the apocalyptic scale of world destruction, when the thing that wipes out civilization doesn’t quite kill everyone, we’re left with an After the End type setting. Depending on where the writers fall on the sliding scale of… Continue reading Trope Tuesday: After the End
Post A to Z update
So, the A to Z challenge is over, and it’s back to things as usual. I hope you guys enjoyed it–I’ll probably compile the posts at some point, update them to add some more examples and references, and put it out as a $2.99 ebook. When I get around to it, that is. If that’s… Continue reading Post A to Z update
Productivity? Yeah, about that…
So, for the past week, I’ve kind of been between projects. I finished the revisions for Stars of Blood and Glory last Saturday, after a week or two of light revisions, but since then it’s been a bit of a struggle. I’m still working on Star Wanderers: Benefactor, and progress on Lifewalker had been coming… Continue reading Productivity? Yeah, about that…
Slow, but still making progress
Sorry for neglecting the blog this week. I took a temp job to earn some cash, and that’s been sucking up most of my time lately. Fortunately, it should be over sometime next week. In the meantime, I found a place to live for the next few months. I’m in the basement of an old… Continue reading Slow, but still making progress
Yesterday’s Gone: Episode One by Sean Platt & David Wright

And then, things get really weird… Yesterday’s… Continue reading Yesterday’s Gone: Episode One by Sean Platt & David Wright
