Writing Journal: Y2 Day 151
I haven’t been keeping up with the writing journal lately. This is due mostly to not knowing what to say. Or maybe not having anything to talk about. Sam Kane books 1 & 2 are being shopped by The Agent,…
Writing Journal: Y2 Day 123
It’s been a long time since my last Writing Journal (50 days). I’ve started and stopped several new journal posts in that time. I can make excuses about why I haven’t journaled, including the whole unemployment thing, but really it…

First up – be aware that I won’t be doing these journal posts every day, hence the jump in days from 1 to 4. That’ll keep me on my toes mathwise… Second, I haven’t written a word of fiction since…
Writing Journal: Day 1
I’m going to try a new thing – keeping a journal here on the blog about my writing. You may ask yourself – how will this be any different from what you normally do here? Well – I’ll be concentrating…
